I agree that this change a test, even an autotest would be sufficient.

But more generally speaking I admit I don't like this solution:
shortcutOverrideEvent is not a substitute for handling key events. Handling it
means accepting or rejecting the event, but not processing the actual keys.
That belongs into keyPressEvent.

But with this patch it is just a matter of time until someone complains that
their application shortcuts are overridden by web pages, and that's harder to
control and we have to tell them to re-implement shortcutOverrideEvent?

I would prefer to see Arora handle its shortcuts in a re-implementation of
keyPressEvents.

Another option might be to make QWebPage's behaviour of overriding all
shortcuts configurable.
