First off, you need to set the property "focus" on your QML items to receive key event. If you use loaders to load parts of your UI each needs to set this property as well.

Second, it have proposed a patch for handling the back-button from QML. You can find it here:

Still nothing from Bogdan though... :(

Micke,

Thanks for the quick reply!  It worked great!  I just had to set the focus.

Thanks again,
