QShortcut

The QShortcut class is used to create keyboard shortcuts.

This class is a JS wrapper around Qt's QShortcut class

Example

const { QShortcut, QKeySequence, QMainWindow } = require("@nodegui/nodegui");

const win = new QMainWindow();

const shortcut = new QShortcut(win);

shortcut.setKey(new QKeySequence("Ctrl+M"));

shortcut.setEnabled(true);

shortcut.addEventListener(QShortcutEvents.activated, () => {

console.log("Shortcut Activated");

});

win.show();

global.win = win;

global.shortcut = shortcut;

Methods

addEventListener

▸ addEventListener‹SignalType›(signalType: SignalType, callback: QShortcutSignals[SignalType]): void

Inherited from EventWidget.addEventListener

Type parameters:

▪ SignalType: keyof QShortcutSignals

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
signalType	SignalType	SignalType is a signal from the widgets signals interface.
callback	QShortcutSignals[SignalType]	Corresponding callback for the signal as mentioned in the widget's signal interface

Returns: void

void

For example in the case of QPushButton:

const button = new QPushButton();

button.addEventListener('clicked',(checked)=>console.log("clicked"));

// here clicked is a value from QPushButtonSignals interface
