QPushButton Enter/Return

[Faema]

Hello,

i have a dialog with 4 buttons on qdialogbuttonbox. I want that the user can switch the focus via tab and can active the buttons with enter/return (similar to space).
It works if i call setDefault(true) for every button, but i read in some post that only 1 buttons should be the "Default-Button".

Is there a anthor way to make this work? Sure, i can install a eventfilter, but it sounds strange for me that there is not an easy way similar to setDefault(true).

Hi
Since enter has other roles, like for dialogs, they made key for press it
"spacebar".
So you can activate with keyboard.

yes, i know that.
But my customers are used to press return for more then 20 years now and not spacebar. So what is the best solution?

@Faema
well if setDefault works then use it?
Test with dialog to see if side effects :)

@mrjj
i see no side effects so far, i hope it doesnt change with a qt update.

@Faema
well worst case scenario with change in update
would be - it would close dialog on first button user hits enter on :)
But it seems to be clever enough not to do that if more than one "default".
