Detailed Description
A menu with keyboard searching
KMenu is a class for menus with keyboard accessibility for popups with many options and/or varying options. It acts identically to QMenu, with the addition of setKeyboardShortcutsEnabled() and setKeyboardShortcutsExecute() methods.
The keyboard search algorithm is incremental with additional underlining for user feedback.

Qt.KeyboardModifiers keyboardModifiers | ( | self ) |
Return the state of the keyboard modifiers when the last menuitem was activated.
Qt.MouseButtons mouseButtons | ( | self ) |
Return the state of the mouse buttons when the last menuitem was activated.
mousePressEvent | ( | self, | ||
QMouseEvent | e | |||
) |
mouseReleaseEvent | ( | self, | ||
QMouseEvent | e | |||

setKeyboardShortcutsEnabled | ( | self, | ||
bool | enable | |||
) |
Enables keyboard navigation by searching for the entered key sequence. Also underlines the currently selected item, providing feedback on the search.
Defaults to off.
- Warning:
- calls to text() of currently keyboard-selected items will contain additional ampersand characters.
- Warning:
- though pre-existing keyboard shortcuts will not interfere with the operation of this feature, they may be confusing to the user as the existing shortcuts will not work. In addition, where text already contains ampersands, the underline produced is likely to confuse the user (as this feature uses underlining of text to indicate the current key selection sequence).
setKeyboardShortcutsExecute | ( | self, | ||
bool | enable | |||
) |
Enables execution of the menu item once it is uniquely specified. Defaults to off.
