[Ruzik]

Hellow, i have some problem:
I have a code:
@ if (e->key()==Qt::Key_Enter)
{
qDebug() << "1";
emit makeIndent();
}@
It is doesnt work, but this code worke wright
@ if (e->key()==Qt::Key_E)
{
qDebug() << "1";
emit makeIndent();
}@
I need that signal will called when user press key "Enter" to move to the next line

I guess the eventfilter for your widget or dialog intercepts the event to use it for something else. You should either make sure that you use a widget that will receive that event, or you should use an eventfilter yourself to get it before it is intercepted.

First, I think so too, but this code is first in the keyPressEvent:
@void qssTextEdit::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *e)
{
if (e->key()==Qt::Key_Enter)
{
qDebug() << "1";
emit makeIndent();
}
//Next code
@
And there are no any key filters in program. Code worke wright if instead "Enter" use Escape or Tab in example

eventfilter for your widget or dialog

are you using a QDialog? Or which type of widget do you use?
Enter is often caught for special actions, in dialog, e.g. to activate the default button.

I use QPlainTextEdit

Do you use the QPlainTextEdit within a QDialog? The QDialog catch the Enter key. So do you have to install a eventFilter.

I use QPlainTextEdit in the QMainWindow

Do you want Key_Enter or Key_Return?

Key_Enter usually is the small enter key on the keypad.

In fact i use modified class from Custom Completer Example
