Hi Israel,
Try installEventFilter on the menu to see the KeyPress events before
they are handled by the menu.

I want to modify a QAction if the user holds down a specific key. You
can see similar behavior on the Mac, for example, if you pull down the
Apple menu and press/release the option key - "About This Mac" changes
to "System Information...", among other things. This is the behavior I
want to emulate in my application.
To that end, I tried overriding the keyPressEvent on both the QMenuBar
and the QMenu containing the QAction. However, my debugging indicated
that neither of these keyPressEvent functions were called when
pressing any key with the relevant QMenu displayed.
I'm sort of wondering if this is perhaps due to the event being
handled at a lower level in order to provide "type ahead" type
functionality in the menu? I did notice that different menu entries
are selected when typing various keys, which I believe to be normal
behavior.
Regardless, how can I respond to a keyPress type event in a QMenuBar
or QMenu?
