[Qgis-developer] How to configure keyboard shortcuts to execute plugin?

[Martin Dobias]

Hi Luca,

this functionality is present since 1.2:
- QgisInterface::registerMainWindowAction(QAction * action, QString
defaultShortcut)
- QgisInterface::unregisterMainWindowAction(QAction * action)

During plugin initialization you can register your action (which will
e.g. trigger the plugin window) with a default shortcut - user will be
able to alter it in configure shortcuts dialog. When unloading,
remember to unregister the action so it won't stay floating around :-)
Just beware that these methods are not available since 1.0 release, so
make sure to check QGIS version before using them.

Regards
Martin
