[Qt-interest] QShortCut and QMenu

[Josh]

Hello,

This should be simple, but I haven't figured it out yet. I'm trying to get 
Shortcuts to work from within a context menu. The following code is a 
complete minimal example. The menu shows up fine when you right click the 
TextEdit and the menu1() function gets called, but the ShortCut key 
combination (Ctrl+Y) doesn't do anything. What am I missing? Thanks.

In addition, if there is documentation that helps me understand how key 
presses 'travel' through Qt, that would be helpful. I'm not sure what 
order events pass through the system (Ie. with reference to event filters, 
reimplementing keyPressEvent functions, shortcut keys, etc. for parent and 
child widgets, the main app, ...)
