This video discusses keyboard handling in Qt Quick. Whether you have a physical keyboard, a virtual one, or maybe some special hard keys, you may want to have the elements in your scene react to the keypresses.

There are a few ways to manage keyboard input: from just using an element such as TextInput, that solves the whole problem for us, to actually having custom logic to handle keyboard events.

Keyboard input is also associated with focus. We will discuss focus and focus handling of multiple elements and components in an upcoming video – we need to introduce more theory first. In this video we will simply show how to move focus across different elements.
