Detailed Description

PySide2.Qt3DInput.Qt3DInput.QKeyEvent.count()

Return type:

int

Holds the number of keys involved in this event. If text is not empty, this is simply the length of the string.

PySide2.Qt3DInput.Qt3DInput.QKeyEvent.isAccepted()

Return type:

bool

Setting accepted to true prevents the key event from being propagated to the item’s parent.

Generally, if the item acts on the key event then it should be accepted so that ancestor items do not also respond to the same event.

PySide2.Qt3DInput.Qt3DInput.QKeyEvent.isAutoRepeat()

Return type:

bool

Holds whether this event comes from an auto-repeating key.

PySide2.Qt3DInput.Qt3DInput.QKeyEvent.key()

Return type:

int

This property holds the code of the key that was pressed or released.

See Key for the list of keyboard codes.

PySide2.Qt3DInput.Qt3DInput.QKeyEvent.matches(key_)

PySide2.Qt3DInput.Qt3DInput.QKeyEvent.setAccepted(accepted)

Parameters:

PySide2.Qt3DInput.Qt3DInput.QKeyEvent.text()

Return type:

str

This property holds the Unicode text that the key generated. The text returned can be an empty string in cases where modifier keys, such as Shift, Control, Alt, and Meta, are being pressed or released. In such cases key will contain a valid value.
