Shortcut Ctrl+Down in Action

Question

I would like to have an Action which triggers on the shortcut Ctrl+↓.

What I was able to do is have the shortcut for ↓:

Action {
    shortcut: StandardKey.MoveToNextLine
    enabled: true
    onTriggered: console.log('Down pressed')
}

But how can I define the shortcut Ctrl+↓?

Answer 1

From the documentation of shortcut you read that:

Shortcut bound to the action. The keysequence can be a string or a standard key.

From the QKeySequence toString() method documentation you also read that:

Return a string representation of the key sequence, based on format.

For example, the value Qt::CTRL+Qt::Key_O results in "Ctrl+O". If the key sequence has multiple key codes, each is separated by commas in the string returned, such as "Alt+X, Ctrl+Y, Z". The strings, "Ctrl", "Shift", etc. are translated using QObject::tr() in the "QShortcut" context.

Hence, use the key name combination instead of StandardKey like this:

import QtQuick 2.4
import QtQuick.Window 2.2
import QtQuick.Controls 1.3

ApplicationWindow {
    id: rectangle
    width: 200
    height: 200
    visible: true

    Action {
        shortcut: "Ctrl+Down"
        enabled: true
        onTriggered: console.log('Down pressed [ctrl hold]')
    }
}
