Don't *ever* grab the mouse. Over 14 years of Qt coding and consulting, 
I have only seen one or two cases where it made sense. It's a clear 
indication you are doing something wrong.

In this case, the solution is to set an event filter on 
QApplication::instance. You can see a similar idea on this page in my blog:

You can do exactly the same as this shootabug does, just don't check for 
the ctrl key.
