QLineEdit has some keyboard shortcuts (e.g. Ctrl+Z for Undo) that clash

I'd like to give application-level shortcuts precedence over QLineEdit's
shortcuts, but I can't seem to find a clean and general way to do this.
Alternatively, is there a way to customize the keyboard shortcuts in
QLineEdit? If I could disable some of the problematic shortcuts that
would be a reasonable workaround.
the default key bindings for QLineEdit are hard-coded, but the actual
key sequences used are platform-dependent (and the same goes for most
(all?) other widgets which have them).
but what is your reason for wanting to change the default behaviour?
as a user, i would expect all the 'normal' shortcuts to work when typing
in a line edit. if Ctrl+Z undid something in some other widget that i
wasn't looking at, it could become very confusing. (IIRC this was how
things used to work with qt3 - and good riddance to that!).
