Getting "Alt+F4" shortcut not working

deleted357

Hi,

I can't get "Alt + F4" shortcut to display a confirmation dialog. I can only prevent it from closing the window as shown below:

ApplicationWindow {
    ...
    property bool closeKeysWereTriggered: false
    ...
    onClosing: {
        if (!closeKeysWereTriggered) {
            close.accepted = false;
    }

    Shortcut {
            sequence: "Escape"
            onActivated:  {
                console.log("Escape shortcut");
                exitDialog.open();
            }

            context: Qt.ApplicationShortcut
    }
    
    Shortcut {
            sequence: "Alt+F4"
            onActivated:  {
                console.log("Alt+F4 shortcut");
                exitDialog.open();
            }

            context: Qt.ApplicationShortcut
    }
    ...
    Dialog {
        id: exitDialog
    ...
        Button {
            id: yesButton
    ...
            onClicked: {
                closeKeysWereTriggered = true;
                window.close();
            }
    ...

However, "Alt+F3" shortcut works.

Any idea ?

Best regards.

Hi,

AFAIK, ALT+F4 is not assignable as a shortcut (a bit like ALT+Tab) so you have to put the related logic in the onClosing method.

I found a solution in the code above:

onClosing: {
        if (!closeKeysWereTriggered) {
            close.accepted = false;
            exitDialog.open();
        }
    }

Now, the exit dialog is always displayed.

Best regards.
