[Qt-interest] keyPressEvent with german keyboard

[Martin Grossberger]

Hello all,

I've implemented a simple hotkey edit, subclassing QLineEdit to record a 
hotkey in keyPressEvent, then displaying it. For most keys this works 
just fine, however I have trouble with german umlaut keys.
For Ö I get the (undocumented) Key 0xF6 with the correct text "ö", for Ä 
the (also undocumented) Key 0xE4 with the correct text "ä".
For Ü however, I get the Key 0x5B, which is Qt::Key_BracketLeft, with 
the according text "]".
When I register any of these Keys (with any modifier) as QShortcut, 
*none* of them work (i.e. they register fine, but pressing the specified 
Hotkey does not trigger them).

Can anybody reproduce this issue? Is this a known bug, or did I do 
something wrong?

I'm currently using Qt 4.6.2 on Windows 7. I didn't get to testing it on 
another configuration.

Many Thanks,
Martin
