I'm trying to handle a QML/JavaScript situation where the user presses the delete key. For some reason, Keys.onDeletePressed: {}
is not firing. I am getting the signal for onEscapePressed
, onSpacePressed
, and onReturnPressed
, so I don't think it's a focus issue, or some other setup issue. I can't figure out why it's only the delete key that's not working. Is this a bug?
Keys.onReturnPressed: {
// code that does stuff deleted.
console.log("Return Pressed.");
}
Keys.onEscapePressed: {
// code that does stuff deleted.
console.log("Escape pressed.");
}
Keys.onDeletePressed: {
console.log("delete pressed");
}
Keys.onSpacePressed: {
console.log("space pressed.");
}
It could be you're pressing Backspace, here's a more robust check:
Keys.onPressed: (event) => {
switch (event.key) {
case Qt.Key_Return:
console.log("Return Pressed.");
break;
case Qt.Key_Escape:
console.log("Escape Pressed.");
break;
case Qt.Key_Delete:
console.log("Delete Pressed.");
break;
case Qt.Key_Backspace:
console.log("Backspace Pressed.");
break;
case Qt.Key_Space:
console.log("Space Pressed.");
break;
default:
console.log("Unknown key " + event.key + " pressed");
break;
}
}
