I wrote previously about (Py)Qt widgets ignoring generated keystrokes from third-party apps like Typinator, but now I have verified that they also ignore input from the official Mac OS built-in keystroke generator, the Apple Keyboard Viewer. To test this,
<ul><li>open System Preferences</li><li>select the Language and Text pane</li><li>at the bottom, set the check box “Show input menu in menu bar”</li></ul>
Now from the menu bar you can pop out a Character Viewer that allows
you to view and enter any Unicode, or a Keyboard Viewer that shows
you all the special characters entered with modifier keys and enter them. These generated keystrokes are ignored by Qt widgets, altho they are seen by <span class="caps">BBE</span>dit and by official Apple apps such as TextEdit.<br>
<br>What I'm concerned about here, before filing a Qt bug, is that I may be missing some feature or option I could be setting on my QLineEdit or QTextEdit widget to fix this.<br>
