I'm working on making the scripting module (7_scripting.py) more comfortable.
Therefor I want to define some local shortcuts, by means of

lib/qtui.py 750 pp¹

Code: Select all

def setShortcut(modifier, key, action):
    action.setShortcut(QtGui.QKeySequence(modifier + key))

which is passed upwards by the mh module.

Thus I have to define "actions" by means of mh's framework, and parent them to a local group, which is itself parented to the Scripting widget.

The gui (i.e. qtgui passed through) adapter exposes a group parameter, which offers means for such custom parenting of actions

lib/qtgui.py 1858 pp²

Code: Select all

class Action(QtGui.QAction, Widget):
    #  [...]
    def __init__(self, name, text, method, tooltip = None, group = None, toggle = False):
        super(Action, self).__init__(self.getIcon(name), text, G.app.mainwin)
        self.name = name
        self.method = method
        if tooltip is not None:
            self.setToolTip(tooltip)
        if group is not None:
            self.setActionGroup(self.getGroup(group))
        if toggle:
            self.setCheckable(True)
        self.connect(self, QtCore.SIGNAL('triggered(bool)'), self._activate)

    # [...]
    def setActionGroup(self, group):
        self.setCheckable(True)
        super(Action, self).setActionGroup(group)

    # [...]


but unfortunately the ActionGroup model exposed by the framework itself gets always parented to main win.

lib/qtgui.py 1916 pp³
# [...]

Code: Select all

class ActionGroup(QtGui.QActionGroup):
    def __init__(self):
        super(ActionGroup, self).__init__(G.app.mainwin)

    # [...]
# [...]

Of course, I could add an optional parameter to the ActionGroup ctor, but I'd rather not change an interface in a central layer of mh just for tiny task in a plugin.

Are there other means the mh's framework offers for defining local shortcuts than the one I sketched?
