Check this out. You can create a QAction that is set to the Application
context, and then attach it to the MainWindow:
####
from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui
import sip
import maya.OpenMayaUI as mui
mainWin = sip.wrapinstance(long(mui.MQtUtil.mainWindow()), QtGui.QWidget)
action = QtGui.QAction(mainWin)
action.setShortcut(QtGui.QKeySequence(QtCore.Qt.Key_Tab))
action.setShortcutContext(QtCore.Qt.ApplicationShortcut)
def foo():
print "TAB!"
action.triggered.connect(foo)
mainWin.addAction(action)
####
Whenever I press TAB with the MainWindow in focus, I get the action
triggered.
Now you could either save the reference to the action and slot, and
disconnect/reconnect to new ones for hot key references...or..you could
just set this all up once and have the slot call a function on your class
that you can simply replace at any time. That way you never have to mess
with the action or original slot. You just update whatever function the
slot calls.
