Why not use QWidget::grabMouse() and QWidget::grabKeyboard() for inline editing?

If you really want modality rather than grabbing (although I don't understand
why), install an application event filter and filter out
		    e->type() == QEvent::KeyPress ||
		    e->type() == QEvent::KeyRelease ||
		    e->type() == QEvent::Accel ||
		    e->type() == QEvent::MouseButtonPress ||
		    e->type() == QEvent::MouseButtonRelease ||
		    e->type() == QEvent::MouseButtonDblClick ||
		    e->type() == QEvent::FocusIn ||
		    e->type() == QEvent::Enter

for all widgets that are not children of your "modal" one.
