I have an idea :)
I'm not sure about it, but I see some pontential in it. :)
I have already sent it to the list. Did you miss it?

I'm resending it here:

IMHO the problem comes from the fact, that the widget containing the video
output is reparented (to make it a main window). Probably this reparented
window gets the focus, but the shortcuts are installed to the old mainwindow
(with the menu and stuff).

Probably the good solution would be to avoid reparenting and just make the
menubar, all the toolbars and the sidebar hidden and make the main window
fullscreen.

Note: The above is just an idea. I'm not a too good Qt programmer...
