Global short cut key for a QPushButton

How could I register a global short cut key for a certain QPushButton? Especially when the QPushButton is not a direct child of the main window.

Usually you create a QAction and you add it to a menu or a toolbar. You can set a shortcut, icon, tooltip etc, this is not exactly a QPushButton but it's pretty close and it is easy to link your action to any slot of your convenience.

But if you just want to capture a shortcut or a key to steal it from the OS, MasterAler is right, go for QKeySequence or QShortcut.

You mean

QKeySequence

classes? Or do you just need something more powerful?
