Shortcut in QAction in QMenu as context menu
Message 1 in thread
Hello,
I'm using a QAction with a shortcut ('Del').
I add the action to a QMenu and then use exec. The shortcut is shown but
it doesn't work.
Is this a bug?
Regards,
Paul

The shortcut of a QAction triggers only when it's added to a visible
and enabled widget. This means that the shortcut will not work if the
action is added only to a context menu which is visible only when
requested. Try adding the action to any arbitrary widget which is
always visible. A good choice is the widget which provides the context
menu. :) See QWidget::addAction() for more details.

I can't understand.
- Why the QMenu shows the shortcut if it's not available.
- How I can diable the shurtcut display in the context menu if it doesn't work.
- The QAction is in a QMenu of the QMainWindow and the shortcut works
when the context menu is not visible. How I can make the trick to make
it work when the context menu is visible.
I think that this behavior is a bug. The short cut shouldn't be
displayed if it doesn't work.

Paul

A QMenu doesn't react to shortcuts by the time it's visible but it
does still react to mnemonics:
91023 - Context menu accelerators don't work:

By the time the menu is not visible, shortcuts work as long as
corresponding actions are added to visible widgets.

Thank you for your help.
I can't belive that this is a 'feature'.
