The problem with using other values in QKeyEvent is that if they happen to match something already recognized the key will trigger the wrong actions.

I took a look at the HbbTv codes, and there is a big problem here. While many of the new keys use values larger than 255 and therefore do not conflict with traditional keycodes, there are several that does. 

For instance fast-forward and rewind are mapped differently than on GoogleTV. This means you can either have the browser working with hbbtv sites or have it working with GoogleTV sites, but not both.

If you really need this, I would suggest adding another property to QtKeyEvent and pass your domain specific keycodes in that, and if present use that in the PlatformKeyEventQt to set the keycode, but we can not support a poorly thought through standard in trunk that conflicts with existing websites.
