Catching a keyPressEvent in a QTreeWidget with no focus

So I desired to remove the ugly dotted border on my QTreeWidget by setting NoFocus on the focus policy. Now I need to catch keyPressEvents, but the focus policy is preventing that. Any ideas how one might circumvent this catch 22 so that I can catch a delete key press for easy item deletion? Thanks in advance!
