[PyQt] Can't get keyboard shortcuts to work

[David Townshend]

Thanks for the reply.  I just realised that the example I sent does
actually work (once I sort out the focus).  After about an hour of testing
I discovered that in my actual scenario I never called widget.addAction().
 I've got quite a bit of abstraction around the QActions and I somehow
missed it!
