Normally when the key is hold down the keyPressEvent function is called as often as @QApplication::keyboardInputInterval() @ is set to. However it does not work for keys like shift,ctrl or alt.
this is executing properly:
@
void Renderer::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *event)
{
if(event->key() == Qt::Key_Escape) qDebug() << "executing";
}
@this is executed only once when the button is pressed:
@
void Renderer::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *event)
{
if(event->key() == Qt::Key_Shift) qDebug() << "executing";
}
@the only difference is Qt::Key_Shift and Qt::Key_Escape. Anyone know how to fix this?

Hi and welcome to devnet,
It is not a bug, the shift key as well as the ctrl and meta keys are modifiers so they don't repeat
