[Interest] Shift+Tab Shortcut

[Daniel Otto Bolognani]

Hello,

Installing an eventfilter I can get the keyrelease event and test for backtab, so it works too. To intercept the backtab (shift tab), the only way is through eventfilter and in the focusout event, I don't see why this happens, but at least there are other options.

Thanks for the reply

Did you try installing an eventfilter on your QApplication object?
