Qt 4.2.2: Getting all uneaten keyboard presses


Message 1 in thread

Hello.

My application needs to be informed about uneaten key presses. Meaning,
as long as no widget processes the key presses themselves (like
QLineEdit) my application needs to be informed about key presses and
releases so the input cache state is consistent.
I tried to install an event filter on QApplication, but to no avail.
Same for installing an event filter on QMainWindow.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you in advance.

I've been waiting for a reply on this one, but haven't seen anyone answer it
yet. I could use a fix for this too.

Did someone (rudely) reply offline? This list is so we can ALL see the
answers.

That reminds me of one deficiency of the qt-interest mailing list (not
sure but I think other mailing lists, like qsa-interest, etc ...
suffer from this too). It does not send "Reply-to:" header with
address of the list. So if anybody just hit "reply" without checking
to where he/she is actually writing, write response, press some "send
the mail" shortcut .... the response will be sent to the person that
sent original message, not to the list. (I admit I have made same
mistake here too, once, now I manually change To: address to the list)

Since most intelligent mail clients and webmails respect reply-to,
adding "Reply-to" header will help in that cases. But that is up to
the mailing list administrator here.

Yes, a replytoheader set would be just great.

No, and there are many people who think this is wrong, just google for
"reply to harmful".

Intelligent mail clients have a list-reply function (even Thunderbird
has a plugin nowadays), so a reply-to is not needed at all.

Thats the first and last message from me in this thread regarding this
topic, I pretty much expect another flame-war here.

You don't remember the name of this plugin by any chance? A quick google
did not bring up anything useful and mozilla.com seems to be unreachable
right now...

Please just one more ;)

Thanks, Oliver

Hmm, first link when hitting google with "thunderbird list reply", but
there may still be a downside (I didn't dig into the thunderbird
bugzilla): It requires a patch to the TB source and I'm not sure that
was integrated upstream. 

Andreas

PS: The first is a german link, the last but one is a blog from the
debian-thunderbird maintainer and has a link to the extension and from
there you get more info.
