That's a design concept I wondered about too, but I think I've found the answer: Because... * An Item is something that can be painted and displayed inside a window/viewport. * An Item is a painting, but a Window is not; rather, it is a frame in which paintings are inserted. * Qt draws Items itself, while it relies on the operating system to draw Windows.

A good point in the comments of https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-28957 that you're probably better off with the Shortcut QML type. -- J-P Nurmi ___ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest

Because QML Window is not an Item. I'd like the Keys attached property work regardless, though. It should just forward it to the content item of the window.

[Interest] ApplicationWindow is not an Item?
I tried using Keys on an application window. I got an error that it is not an item. While it's trivial to throw an item in, why isn't it an Item? ___ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
