[Qt-interest] System-wide key listenning - keylogger

[Gabriele Kahlout]

Hello,

I'm trying to implement to 'listen' to system-wide key presses of ctrl+3,
ctrl+4, and some other keys. I can do it with Qt's support when the QT
application is focused, but I cannot catch keys pressed otherwise. Judging
from the material I found, (although 3 years old) there seems not to be QT
cross-platform support for this. Is that the case? Will I have to rely on
code like in the 3rd link?

This example suggests that QShortcuts are not system-wide, as described
above:

Also note that correspondence may be received only from specified a priori
senders, or if the subject of this email ends with a code, eg. -LICHT01X,
then also from senders whose reply contains it.
