Answer 1

Add a QShortcut and listen to its activated() signal, then perform the action in the slot.

Or you could reimplement QWidget and define keyPressEvent to what you like. Check for the event parameter's modifiers() and key() to see if they match with what you want. This listens for shortcut keys when the QWidget has focus.
