Which is sort of an ugly hack, you can use QPlainTextEdit.cursorForPosition(QPoint) cursor = self.cursorForPosition(event.pos()) instead of cursor = self.textCursor() in the contextMenuEvent implementation, this also means that the visible text cursor won't move, and the user will not see that the text is selected... This could still be achieved though, by calling self.setTextCursor(cursor) Hi,

While, Ubuntu 9.04 ships with Qt 4.5, it only ships with PyQt 4.4.4. The partial solution still works fine and is probably the cleanest solution for PyQt 4.4.

This is great... I had some problems importing pyqtSignal though... Ubuntu 9.04, Qt 4.5. Nevertheless, replacing the custom SpellAction with a normal Action connected to a partial function did the trick: action = QAction(suggestion, spell_menu) action.connect(action, SIGNAL("triggered()"), functools.partial(self.correctWord, word = suggestion)) spell_menu.addAction(action) Don't know if this approach is better, but it worked for me... And again thanks for publishing this... Otherwise this would not be a feature I'd waste time on :) (But it's just so neat to have...) Thanks… This is great…
