    <p>My final goal is to bind the key left of the [1] key to a shortcut in pyqt, no matter what keyboard layout (qwerty, qwertz, azerty...). That is not supported by qt directly.</p> <p>So either I am looking for a way that was not mentioned in the Qt docs (or hidden somewhere) or, more likely, a way to pre-process the keys in pure python before that by translating the hardware key number to the actual key in the current layout on the program start-up.</p> <p>I can give the actual key to pyqt then, or any other toolkit, which does not need to know anything then.</p> <p>The key left of the one-key has the the key number "1" sometimes (see <a href="http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/aix/v7r1/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.aix.keyboardtechref%2Fdoc%2Fkybdtech%2FKey.htm" rel="nofollow">http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/aix/v7r1/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.aix.keyboardtechref%2Fdoc%2Fkybdtech%2FKey.htm</a> ).</p> <p>If I intercept this key in qt and print out its "nativeScanCode" I get "49" as result. </p> <p>So all in all I would prefer a python only solution, but Qt dependent is also fine.</p> <p>Reason: The reason is that this is a very comfortable key to use (regarding the layout) but highly language dependent. In some keyboard-languages it is even a 'dead key' which requires a second key to create a char with diacritic.</p> <p>If you want to test it yourself just take the z and the y keys with qwerty and qwertz, that is the simpler example than the key left of the one, but in principle it is the same problem. The goal is a shortcut that is always triggered by the key in the lower left corner of the keyboard, no matter if qwertz or qwerty (as the name suggest, the difference between these two is that z and y are reversed)</p>

    2. COSorry, you still don't get it. This has nothing to do with dead keys. Dead keys just add one additional layer of problems, but until the original problem remains we don't even need to think about this. The last paragraph in the question recommends that for own tests you can as well use z and y. It is simpler because these are non-dead keys in any layout.

    3. COWhy has it nothing to do with dead keys? We were talking about dead keys. You're trying to bind a shortcut to a dead key press event, don't you?

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
