Keyboard shortcuts for QWebEngineView navigation

[ospf]

I have tried QKeySequence, QAction and QKeyEvent among other things and I can't get it to work. Here is the code.

Hi @ospf,
There are 2 ways to do it:

• Using a QMenu and adding QAction to it using addAction and then setShortcut to it. I see you have already tried it but it works. The prerequisite is it needs a QMenu.
  For Eg. Check this Browser example especially this class and browse to setupMenu() method
• Use QShortcut and connect its activated signal to a slot which will get executed on trigger.
  Eg.

QShortcut *shortcut = new QShortcut(QKeySequence("Ctrl+r"), this);
QObject::connect(shortcut, SIGNAL(activated()), view, SLOT(reload()));
//view = QWebEngineView and reload() = its slot.

Edit: added example link.

Great thanks, how do I add it to my code? When I try to add the QShortcut answer to the main function I get "invalid use of 'this' in a non-member function".

@ospf The second parameter expects a QWidget so this should point to a QWidget but in your case it is not. Try passing your QWebEngineView's object.

@p3c0 That worked, thanks for your help.
