Properties
Property Documentation
capsLock : bool [read-only, deprecated]
This property is deprecated. We strongly advise against using it in new code.
Use capsLockActive instead.
This property is changed when the caps lock status changes.
inputItem : QtObject [read-only, deprecated]
This property is deprecated. We strongly advise against using it in new code.
Use Window.activeFocusItem instead. This property was never intended as public API; it was exposed only for the internal use of the virtual keyboard.
This property is changed when the focused input item changes.
Note: If you are tracking the input item in order to react to the keyboard geometry or to the cursor position, prefer the input method properties in Qt.inputMethod, such as keyboardRectangle and cursorRectangle. Those work independently of the virtual keyboard and do not require access to the focused item itself.
shift : bool [read-only, deprecated]
This property is deprecated. We strongly advise against using it in new code.
Use shiftActive instead.
This property is changed when the shift status changes.
