They may be filtered out by the widget that has focus, it's hard to
tell. If you want to make sure that you catch all the tab key events,
have a look at QObject::eventFilter() and QObject::installEventFilter().
Installing an event filter in the QApplication will catch all events,
but it also means routing all events through the event filter, which
takes it share of resources.
