Class: QgsShortcutsManager

class qgis.gui.QgsShortcutsManager(parent: QObject = None, settingsRoot: str = '')

Bases: PyQt5.QtCore.QObject

Constructor for QgsShortcutsManager.

Parameters:
  • parent – parent object
  • settingsRoot – root QgsSettings path for storing settings, e.g., “/myplugin/shortcuts”. Leave

as the default value to store settings alongside built in QGIS shortcuts, but care must be taken to not register actions which conflict with the built in QGIS actions.

Shortcuts manager is a class that contains a list of QActions and QShortcuts that have been registered and their shortcuts can be changed.

QgsShortcutsManager is not usually directly created, but rather accessed through QgsGui.shortcutsManager()

objectDefaultKeySequence(self, object: QObject) → str

Returns the default sequence for an object (either a QAction or QShortcut). An empty return string indicates no shortcut.

Parameters:sequence – key sequence to find
Returns:object with matching sequence, or None if not found
receivers()
registerAction(self, action: QAction, defaultShortcut: str = '') → bool

Registers an action with the manager so the shortcut can be configured in GUI.

Parameters:action – action to register. The action must have a unique text string for

identification. :param defaultShortcut: default key sequence for action

Returns:true if action was successfully registered
registerAllChildActions(self, object: QObject, recursive: bool = False)

Automatically registers all QActions which are children of the passed object.

Parameters:
  • object – parent object containing actions to register
  • recursive – set to true to recursively add child actions

registerAllChildShortcuts(self, object: QObject, recursive: bool = False)

Automatically registers all QShortcuts which are children of the passed object.

Parameters:
  • object – parent object containing shortcuts to register
  • recursive – set to true to recursively add child shortcuts
registerAllChildren(self, object: QObject, recursive: bool = False)

Automatically registers all QActions and QShortcuts which are children of the passed object.

Parameters:
  • object – parent object containing actions and shortcuts to register
  • recursive – set to true to recursively add child actions and shortcuts
registerShortcut(self, shortcut: QShortcut, defaultSequence: str = '') → bool

Registers a QShortcut with the manager so the shortcut can be configured in GUI.

Parameters:shortcut – QShortcut to register. The shortcut must have a unique QObject.objectName() for

identification. :param defaultSequence: default key sequence for shortcut

Returns:true if shortcut was successfully registered
