[Qt-interest] Match new line character

[Israel Brewster]

I have a QTextEdit widget in my app where I need to watch what the  
user types, and if they type certain characters I need to respond in  
various ways. What I have done so far is connected a slot to the  
textChanged() signal, such that whenever they type a character I use  
the QTextCursor to select the last character (whatever they just  
typed, obviously) and compare it to the set of "action" characters.  
This works fine for normal characters (if there is a better way, I'd  
love to hear it) but it doesn't appear to work if they type a new line  
(return or enter, I don't care which). I tried comparing to "\n", but  
the comparison always fails. In the debugger, the selected string  
looks like "\e2\80\a9" in this case. I was thinking maybe that was  
just random junk, except that I always get that same string. How can I  
match on a new line? Thanks.
