The shortcut event *should* be delivered to every object (or at least widget) in that \
window - that's why you likely can omit the filter and just re-implement the \
::event() function of the window.

<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: \
-pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">This solution has some \
disadvantages, especially that it's not possible to change the filter bar \
shortcut anymore.
A better solution would be to install an event filter [1] on the showFilterBar \
action. The event filter can then catch the shortcut event [2] and handle it if \
needed (see the KeyPressEater example in [1] how this can be done).

Yep, please create a new class for the event filter. We can then use the same event \
