But what would be its key value? Based on which standard ?(There are lot of standard are there like CEHTML/Open IPTV,HbbTV,Connected TV,..).

It will use Qt defined keycode values. Once a key event has been created by Qt the original values are no longer used. This is also why we need the values defined in Qt in the first place, otherwise there is no keycode value for WebKit either.

Qt do have most of the keys. I am looking into getting Guide, Info and Exit added as well.
