Create one keybord shortcut for 2 objects in PyQt

Question

How can i create for "Ctrl+C" bindings for 2 objects: self.table, self.editor

I have:

shortcut = QtGui.QShortcut(QtGui.QKeySequence("Ctrl+C"), self.table, None, self.copyTable)
shortcut2 = QtGui.QShortcut(QtGui.QKeySequence("Ctrl+C"), self.editor, None, self.copyText)

This works, but is toogled. If i have focus on self.editor and for the first time i press "Ctrl+C it does self.copyTable, the second time is does self.copyText.

What am i doing wrong? :P

I did find a workaround where i create a QAction which checks which object has focus and triggers the wanted action. But i would rather have it per object.

Edit (a working example):

shortcut = QtGui.QShortcut(QtGui.QKeySequence("Ctrl+C"), self, self.copytoclipbord)
shortcut.setContext(QtCore.Qt.WidgetShortcut)

You have to set the correct context for short cuts: by default they are window-"global", you probably want them to be widget-"local". See setShortcutContext.
