Question: Does Qt's QTableView have an build in signal, to signal when you are about to go into edit mode? (like an 'On got Focus' event signal)

What I want to do: I'm building a table that is suppose to work very much like an MS Access Table. At the bottom of the table I got a 'New' line row already set up, what I need now is to add another 'new line row' once the user start using/editing the existing one

What I got so far: Currently I am using an event filter, but it would be nice to have something more efficient and/or simpler. I'm not overly eager for a custom signal method due to the increased complexity it entails even though it might have better performance...

Here is the code for the event filter installed on the table view:

def __init__(self, parent):

    ...

    self.__ui.tableView.installEventFilter(self) 



def eventFilter(self, object, event):

    if event.type() == 9:

        #catch the 'on focus event'

        print(event.type(), event)

        #do something here

    return True
