Detailed Description

The KeyboardFilter class provides a global keyboard event filter.

The KeyboardFilter class is used to implement a global, low-level filter on key events in the Qtopia Core server application; this can be used to implement things like APM (advanced power management) suspend from a button without having to filter for it in all applications.

Member Function Documentation

KeyboardFilter::~KeyboardFilter ()   [virtual]

Destroys the keyboard filter.

bool KeyboardFilter::filter ( int unicode, int keycode, int modifiers, bool isPress, bool autoRepeat )   [pure virtual]

Returns true if the specified key should be filtered; otherwise returns false. A true return value stops the key from being processed any further.

The Unicode value is given in unicode and the key code in keycode. Keyboard modifiers are OR-ed together in modifiers. If isPress is true this is a key press; otherwise it is a key release. If autoRepeat is true this is an auto-repeated key press.

All normal key events should be blocked while in compose mode.
