[Qt-interest] overcomming ambiguous shortcuts

[Deepak Chandran]

What do I need to do in order to make common shortcuts (such as Ctrl+O, Ctrl+S, etc.) to be available on the main window but also be available on a child widget. The shortcuts of the child widget should override the main window shortcuts when it has focus. I tried different values in setShortcutContext in QAction, but anything other than Qt::WindowShortcut causes none of the shortcuts to work. 

The shortcuts in QTextEdit, such as Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, do override the main window shortcuts. How does it do that? How do I make my widgets do the same?
I am thinking that it has something to do with who is the parent of my action objects maybe. I am sure someone here has dealt with this issue.
