[Qgis-user] Trapping Kyb/Mouse events during a QGIS geometry edit process

[Richard Duivenvoorde]

I'd start to look into the advanced digitizing tools code, or in some (older?) cad-like plugins (QAD is a pretty extensive one)? They often also show position/angle/whatever info?

The 'thing' you see during digitizing, is (I think) a QgsGeometryRubberBand

https://qgis.org/pyqgis/3.22/gui/QgsGeometryRubberBand.html#module-QgsGeometryRubberBand

That one has a lot of events....

HTH,

Richard
