I guess it depends on focus. If some Qt widget uses Ctrl-F for for "cursor
forward", it will get the keyevent first and most probably accept it.

It would be nice to have a way to redefine all of Qt's accelerators, but
I'm afraid this is not feasible without subclassing all affected widgets.
E.g. this is in qlineedit.cc:
  The default key bindings are described in keyPressEvent(); they cannot
  be customized except by inheriting the class.
