PySide2.Qt3DInput.QKeyEvent.count()

bool

Setting accepted to true prevents the key event from being propagated to the item’s parent.

Generally, if the item acts on the key event then it should be accepted so that ancestor items do not also respond to the same event.

Return type

bool

Holds whether this event comes from an auto-repeating key.

PySide2.Qt3DInput.QKeyEvent.key()
