[Qt-interest] keyPressEvent with german keyboard

[Martin Grossberger]

Hi,

You are right, if I use Qt::Key_Adiaeresis for the QShortcut, it works.
Also, if I just use the key Ä, I get the correct key code (0xC4).
However, if I press Control+Ä I get the Key code 0xE4 (with modifier 
Qt::ControlModifier).

It seems the key code gets altered whenever the Control modifier is 
used. I realized this is also the case for other keys, e.g. Ctrl++ 
signals an event with key code 0x5D (Qt::Key_BracketRight).

I'll check if the native scancode and virtual key values are more sensible.

This is basically what I did:
> class HotkeyEdit : public QLineEdit {
>     public:
>         HotkeyEdit(QWidget *parent=NULL) : QLineEdit(parent) {}
>     protected:
>         void keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *ev) {
>             setText(ev->text());
>         }
> }; 

Kind Regards,
Martin
