So I've got a chat program up and running, with a friends list, individual windows per chat, all i want to do is set up the chat widget to send on enter while entering text in the input, and not add a \n to the text.
This is a pretty simple task but its completely eluded me so far

You have 2 choices : subclass from QTextEdit (or other inputwidget) and add your functionality in keyPressEvent() or install eventFilter without subclassing.

There are plenty of examples there.
