           Summary: disabling actions in QWebPage
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 420+
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: History

It would be good to make it possible to completely disable WebAction-s for QWebPage.

Use case: as an example, I have an application that has most of its functionality coded in Qt, but also has most of the user interface written in HTML/JavaScript, and executing in an instance of QWebView derived widget.  All of the navigation between different HTML pages is handled by JavaScript, however QWebView by default reacts for example to Backspace button, and reloads previous page in the history, which is not desired behavior here.  I tried to disable this in various ways, and best thing I was able to come up with is to catch saveFrameStateRequested signal from page() in my  QWebView derived class, and call history()->clear() on that signal - obviously ugly and incomplete (this signal is fired before actually adding newly loaded page to the history, so I end up always having one item in history, instead of none).  So - it would be useful to be able to control (disable/re-enable) WebActions-s directly from the client code.
