an easy way is to install a global eventfilter in all modules (fairly easy
with QObject::installEventFilter) and then let this handle the keypresses and
ignore any that it can't understand. For this to be done, make a class
derived from qobject which installs the eventfilter. All myth modules can
inherit from this class instead of qobject directly.
