QKeySequenceEdit handles meta keys incorrectly on Wayland

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      On Platform Wayland the QKeySequenceEdit dialog is not able to properly caputure shortcuts with Meta key.

      Steps to reproduce:

      1. Use a Wayland compositor (e.g. Weston or KWin)
      2. Start designer
      3. create a new form
      4. Add a QKeySequenceEdit
      5. Preview
      6. Press Meta and a

      Expected result:

      QKeySequenceEdit captures Meta + a

      Actual result:

      ៀ?, Meta+B

       

      As far as I investigated this is not a problem in QtWayland, but in QKeySequenceEdit. On Wayland pressing the Meta key generates Qt::Key_Super_L or Qt::Key_Super_R and not Qt::Key_Meta. Due to that the special handling for modifier key presses in QKeySequenceEdit::keyPressEvent does not work.
