Qt: Ambiguous shortcut issue

I've implemented a dialog with two customized text-editor inside(Two editor objects with same class) This custom widget is an inherited class from QWidget and it has two widgets inside, one is a actions-tool-bar and second is a QTextEdit. I set some shortcuts to this custom widget for some actions like 'Make text Bold', 'Make text Italic', so on.

here is a picture of these widgets inside of my dialog:

![Two custom Text-Edit inside a dialog][1] [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/en3mw.png

So far every thing is ok. But, when I press Ctrl+B for example, I got this error message:

QAction::eventFilter: Ambiguous shortcut overload: Ctrl+B

setting the shortcut context to WidgetWithChildrenShortcut won't help me to disambiguate shortcuts.

anyone has any other idea?

Solution

  • Finally, I found the solution. My editor was inherited from qtextedit. I add this lines to each action, and it works now!

    void MyEditor::addActionToToolbar(QAction *a)
{
    a->setShortcutContext(Qt::WidgetWithChildrenShortcut);
    addAction(a);

    QToolButton* btn = new QToolButton(this);
    btn->setDefaultAction( a );
    btn->setFocusPolicy(Qt::NoFocus);
    btn->setSizePolicy( QSizePolicy::Fixed, QSizePolicy::Fixed );
    btn->setIconSize(QSize(16,16));

    toolBar->addWidget(btn);    
}
