<!-- $$$QShortcut-description -->
<div class="descr">
<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The QShortcut class is used to create keyboard shortcuts.</p>
<p>The QShortcut class provides a way of connecting keyboard shortcuts to Qt's <a href="signalsandslots.html#signals-and-slots">signals and slots</a> mechanism, so that objects can be informed when a shortcut is executed. The shortcut can be set up to contain all the key presses necessary to describe a keyboard shortcut, including the states of modifier keys such as <b>Shift</b>, <b>Ctrl</b>, and <b>Alt</b>.</p>
<a name="mnemonic"></a><p>On certain widgets, using '&' in front of a character will automatically create a mnemonic (a shortcut) for that character, e.g. "E&xit" will create the shortcut <b>Alt+X</b> (use '&&' to display an actual ampersand). The widget might consume and perform an action on a given shortcut. On X11 the ampersand will not be shown and the character will be underlined. On Windows, shortcuts are normally not displayed until the user presses the <b>Alt</b> key, but this is a setting the user can change. On Mac, shortcuts are disabled by default. Call <a href="qtglobal.html#qt_set_sequence_auto_mnemonic">qt_set_sequence_auto_mnemonic</a>() to enable them. However, because mnemonic shortcuts do not fit in with Aqua's guidelines, Qt will not show the shortcut character underlined.</p>
<p>For applications that use menus, it may be more convenient to use the convenience functions provided in the <a href="qmenu.html">QMenu</a> class to assign keyboard shortcuts to menu items as they are created. Alternatively, shortcuts may be associated with other types of actions in the <a href="qaction.html">QAction</a> class.</p>
<p>The simplest way to create a shortcut for a particular widget is to construct the shortcut with a key sequence. For example:</p>
<pre class="cpp"> shortcut <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="keyword">new</span> <span class="type">QShortcut</span>(<span class="type"><a href="qkeysequence.html">QKeySequence</a></span>(tr(<span class="string">"Ctrl+O"</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="string">"File|Open"</span>))<span class="operator">,</span>
parent);</pre>
<p>When the user types the <a href="qkeysequence.html">key sequence</a> for a given shortcut, the shortcut's <a href="qshortcut.html#activated">activated</a>() signal is emitted. (In the case of ambiguity, the <a href="qshortcut.html#activatedAmbiguously">activatedAmbiguously</a>() signal is emitted.) A shortcut is "listened for" by Qt's event loop when the shortcut's parent widget is receiving events.</p>
<p>A shortcut's key sequence can be set with <a href="qshortcut.html#key-prop">setKey</a>() and retrieved with <a href="qshortcut.html#key-prop">key</a>(). A shortcut can be enabled or disabled with <a href="qshortcut.html#enabled-prop">setEnabled</a>(), and can have "What's This?" help text set with <a href="qshortcut.html#whatsThis-prop">setWhatsThis</a>().</p>

<h2>Property Documentation</h2>
<!-- $$$autoRepeat-prop$$$autoRepeat$$$setAutoRepeatbool -->
<h3 class="fn"><a name="autoRepeat-prop"></a><span class="name">autoRepeat</span> : <span class="type">bool</span></h3>
<p>This property holds whether the shortcut can auto repeat.</p>
<p>If true, the shortcut will auto repeat when the keyboard shortcut combination is held down, provided that keyboard auto repeat is enabled on the system. The default value is true.</p>
<p>This property was introduced in Qt 4.2.</p>
<p><b>Access functions:</b></p>

<p>This property holds the context in which the shortcut is valid.</p>
<p>A shortcut's context decides in which circumstances a shortcut is allowed to be triggered. The normal context is <a href="qt.html#ShortcutContext-enum">Qt::WindowShortcut</a>, which allows the shortcut to trigger if the parent (the widget containing the shortcut) is a subwidget of the active top-level window.</p>
<p>By default, this property is set to <a href="qt.html#ShortcutContext-enum">Qt::WindowShortcut</a>.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="enabled-prop"></a><span class="name">enabled</span> : <span class="type">bool</span></h3>
<p>This property holds whether the shortcut is enabled.</p>
<p>An enabled shortcut emits the <a href="qshortcut.html#activated">activated</a>() or <a href="qshortcut.html#activatedAmbiguously">activatedAmbiguously</a>() signal when a <a href="qshortcutevent.html">QShortcutEvent</a> occurs that matches the shortcut's <a href="qshortcut.html#key-prop">key</a>() sequence.</p>
<p>If the application is in <tt>WhatsThis</tt> mode the shortcut will not emit the signals, but will show the "What's This?" text instead.</p>
<p>By default, this property is true.</p>
