As far as I can tell, QAction doesn't support that natively - the 
highest "level" of the shortcut context is on application level.

The only solution I can think of is to use QAbstractEventDispatcher and 
install an event filter function that does the job... but I've never tried 
it, so I can't tell if what you are aiming to achieve is really possible this 
way.

There may also be platform dependent ways, of course...
