[PySide] QListView - make tab key behave like enter key

[Frank Rueter | OHUfx]

Hi all,

I have a simple QListView in which I would like to edit items by 
clicking into empty space, typing, then hitting either enter or tab.
I’d like the tab Key_Tab event to behave exactly like Key_Enter event, 
but it’s a bit stubborn.
When I hit tab while editing an item (i.e. editor is open), the first 
item in the list is selected.

I noticed that when hitting the tab key in an open editor only a 
QtCore.QEvent.ShortcutOverride is triggered.
It looks like I can simply react to that in my situation though I’m not 
sure if that is wise?!
If I do, how would I manually emit an event that looks like a Key_Enter 
event?

Otherwise, how can I avoid above behaviour for the tab key and make it 
behave like a regular key (I assume it’s trying to change focus in the 
focus chain but don’t know how to make it stop)?

Here is some example code to show my problem.

Cheers,
frank

QtCore.Signal() is_not_valid = QtCore.Signal(QtCore.QModelIndex) def
