[scribus-dev] Handling *all* keystrokes in canvas modes not possible?

[Elvis Stansvik]

Or actually no, seems my analysis was wrong.

Still trying to figure out how the textframe is able to capture all
keys, including things that are normally bound to global shortcuts.

Takes a while to take the code in :)

Any tips/pointers are welcome.
