PyQt: keyPressEvent and keyReleaseEvent - holding press without debounce

Question

I want implement a QDialog, in which a key is pressed for some time (seconds) and is released afterwards.

I tried doing this with keyPressEvent

Answer 1

You need to use isAutoRepeat:

def keyReleaseEvent(self, eventQKeyEvent):
    key = eventQKeyEvent.key()
    if key == 54 and not eventQKeyEvent.isAutoRepeat():
        print('released')
