Qt4 code has been identidifed by
git grep -l 'QT_VERSION.*\(0x050000\|0x04\)' src
Uses of QT_VERSION_CHECK have been checked too.
been used to remember what places need further work.
Then remaining Qt4 references have been searched using
git grep -i qt4
git grep -i 'qt 4'
and relevant issues have been either fixed or noted in the new
TODO.killqt4 file.
The search widget triggers a showEvent() in updateTitle() leading to setting the focus to the default push button.
The check in updateTitle() for the need to restore the title avoids superfluous show events and avoids the unwanted focus change.
The default in the .ui is not considered in
GuiSearchWidget::restoreSession(), which sets a hard-coded default
if the stored setting is not found in the session file.
I'll start an ML discussion for whether the code in restoreSession()
should use the ui's default if the setting is not found in the
session.
QWidget::focusNextPrevChild() passes over to the parent (which is the
work area here) if the current window is not a dialog (isWindow()) or
a sub-window (window flag Qt::SubWindow).
We set the latter here to prevent this unwanted behavior.
Let's see if there are side-effects.
This commit fixes a few warnings from Qt 5.14 like the following
one:
error: ‘void QComboBox::setAutoCompletion(bool)’ is deprecated: Use setCompleter() instead. [-Werror=deprecated-declarations]
We only generated setAutoCompletion() from setting the property in
the .ui files. There does not seem to be a .ui file property that
generates setCompleter(). However, the default in both Qt5 [1] and
Qt4 [2] is to enable case-insensitive autocompletion, which seems to
be the same type of autocompletion as when we were relying on
setAutoCompletion(true). Thus, we can remove the properties that set
autocomplete to true. There is only one file, SearchUi.ui, where we
were turning off the autocompletion; we now do so using
setCompleter(0) in GuiSearch::GuiSearch().

In particular, the directory frontends/qt4 is renamed to frontends/qt.
Many configurations file have to be updated. All mentions of qt4 in
the source have been audited, and changed to qt if necessary.
The only part that has not been updated is the CMake build system.
