Triggering Button By Pressing Enter KEy

[AbhishekBlaze]

In my Application I have lots of button and every button has associated function and these function executes when the user click on the button with the mouse. Now I need to trigger one of the button click when the user presses the enter key. Is there any method to do this? How can I do it ? Please Help!!

@AbhishekBlaze Hi. Did you try this method:

Keys.onEnterPressed: (your function here)

Maybe this link can help you:

hi @AbhishekBlaze
this is a small example !!!

guess you were asking for something like this...
in this program I am printing success when down key is pressed.

import QtQuick 2.9
import QtQuick.Window 2.2

Window {
    visible: true
    width: 640
    height: 480
    title: qsTr("Hello World")
    Rectangle
    {   width:200
        height:200
        anchors.centerIn: parent
        color:"red"
        focus: true
        Keys.onPressed:
        {
            if(event.key === Qt.Key_Down)
            {
            console.log("success!!!")
            }

        }

    }
}

output:

16:39:58: Starting C:\ASHISH\PROGRAMS\build-key-Desktop_Qt_5_11_2_MinGW_32bit-Debug\debug\key.exe...
QML debugging is enabled. Only use this in a safe environment.
qml: success!!!

please check if you have set the focus true...

IIRC, if you don't do this in the root element of your QML-Scene, than the Item has to have the activeFocus property set to true. As in the element has to accept focus and has to have the focus or the event will be ignored.
