Emit signal on editing data in a QTableWidget cell

Question

I am searching for a signal that is emitted on editing a cell in a QTableWidget. I don't want "cellChanged" because it is just emitted on lefting the cell.

Example: When I input "abc" into a cell, I want a signal after "a", after "b" and after "c". In this case, I want the signal three times. "cellChanged" emits the signal only one time after lefting the cell.

Is there a possibility to realize this?

What are the widgets in your QTableWidget? It seems that they are QLineEdits, so you have to use the cells' widgets signals, not the QTableWidget one — Andre
I have an emty tabel that is createt with this code (in python3/pyqt5): tablewid = QTableWidget(1,5) Or shall I add ItemDelegate (QLineEdit) and use the "textEdited"-signal? — vezzon
Yes, you could try that, even if it's not a so clear solution or maybe try following this stackoverflow.com/questions/20033691/… — Andre
Thank you to Andre and quazeeee I did it in this way: table = QTableWidget(1,5) le = QLineEdit() table.setCellWidget(0, 0, le) le.textEdited.connect(myfunction) — vezzon

I think you need use keyPressEvent signal. In this event you can emit you own signal in proper case
