    \class QShortcut
    \brief The QShortcut class is used to create keyboard shortcuts.
 
    \ingroup events
    \inmodule QtGui
 
    The QShortcut class provides a way of connecting keyboard
    shortcuts to Qt's \l{signals and slots} mechanism, so that
    objects can be informed when a shortcut is executed. The shortcut
    can be set up to contain all the key presses necessary to
    describe a keyboard shortcut, including the states of modifier
    keys such as \uicontrol Shift, \uicontrol Ctrl, and \uicontrol Alt.
 
    \target mnemonic
 
    In widget applications, certain widgets can use '&' in front of a character.
    This will automatically create a mnemonic (a shortcut) for that character,
    e.g. "E&xit" will create the shortcut \uicontrol Alt+X (use '&&'
    to display an actual ampersand). The widget might consume and perform
    an action on a given shortcut. On X11 the ampersand will not be
    shown and the character will be underlined. On Windows, shortcuts
    are normally not displayed until the user presses the \uicontrol Alt
    key, but this is a setting the user can change. On Mac, shortcuts
    are disabled by default. Call \l qt_set_sequence_auto_mnemonic() to
    enable them. However, because mnemonic shortcuts do not fit in
    with Aqua's guidelines, Qt will not show the shortcut character
    underlined.
 
    For applications that use menus, it may be more convenient to
    use the convenience functions provided in the QMenu class to
    assign keyboard shortcuts to menu items as they are created.
    Alternatively, shortcuts may be associated with other types of
    actions in the QAction class.
 
    The simplest way to create a shortcut for a particular widget is
    to construct the shortcut with a key sequence. For example:
 
    \snippet code/src_gui_kernel_qshortcut.cpp 0
 
    When the user types the \l{QKeySequence}{key sequence}
    for a given shortcut, the shortcut's activated() signal is
    emitted. (In the case of ambiguity, the activatedAmbiguously()
    signal is emitted.) A shortcut is "listened for" by Qt's event
    loop when the shortcut's parent widget is receiving events.
 
    A shortcut's key sequence can be set with setKey() and retrieved
    with key(). A shortcut can be enabled or disabled with
    setEnabled(), and can have "What's This?" help text set with
    setWhatsThis().
 
    \sa QShortcutEvent, QKeySequence, QAction
*/
 
/*!
    \fn void QShortcut::activated()
 
    This signal is emitted when the user types the shortcut's key
    sequence.
 
    \sa activatedAmbiguously()
*/
 
/*!
    \fn void QShortcut::activatedAmbiguously()
 
    When a key sequence is being typed at the keyboard, it is said to
    be ambiguous as long as it matches the start of more than one
    shortcut.
 
    When a shortcut's key sequence is completed,
    activatedAmbiguously() is emitted if the key sequence is still
    ambiguous (i.e., it is the start of one or more other shortcuts).
    The activated() signal is not emitted in this case.
 
    \sa activated()
