     A key event contains a special accept flag that indicates whether
-    the receiver will handle the key event. You should call ignore()
-    if the key press or release event is not handled by your widget.
-    A key event is propagated up the parent widget chain until a
-    widget accepts it with accept() or an event filter consumes it.
