Hi Arni,

You have a couple possibilities.

 1) use QAccel in the main window to make the arrow keys into shortcuts.
 2) subclass QLineEdit; override keyPressEvent(); check if an arrow key
      was pressed, and if it was, do what's need to navigate the calendar
      instead of passing the key to QLineEdit::keyPressEvent().

Cheers,
Ellis
