## Function Documentation

### `[constexpr noexcept, deprecated]` QKeyCombination operator+(Qt::Key key, Qt::KeyboardModifier modifier)

### `[constexpr noexcept, deprecated]` QKeyCombination operator+(Qt::Key key, Qt::Modifier modifier)

### `[constexpr noexcept, deprecated]` QKeyCombination operator+(Qt::KeyboardModifier modifier, Qt::Key key)

### `[constexpr noexcept, deprecated]` QKeyCombination operator+(Qt::Modifier modifier, Qt::Key key)

This function is deprecated. We strongly advise against using it in new code.

Use operator| instead.

Returns a QKeyCombination object that represents the combination of key with the modifier modifier.

### `[constexpr noexcept, deprecated]` QKeyCombination operator+(Qt::Key key, Qt::KeyboardModifiers modifiers)

### `[constexpr noexcept, deprecated]` QKeyCombination operator+(Qt::Key key, Qt::Modifiers modifiers)

### `[constexpr noexcept, deprecated]` QKeyCombination operator+(Qt::KeyboardModifiers modifiers, Qt::Key key)

### `[constexpr noexcept, deprecated]` QKeyCombination operator+(Qt::Modifiers modifiers, Qt::Key key)

This function is deprecated. We strongly advise against using it in new code.

Use operator| instead.

Returns a QKeyCombination object that represents the combination of key with the modifiers modifiers.

### `[constexpr noexcept, since 6.7, deprecated in 6.8]` template <typename LeftType, typename RightType, Qt::if_compatible_pointers<LeftType, RightType> = true> Qt::strong_ordering compareThreeWay(const LeftType *lhs, const RightType *rhs)

This function is deprecated since 6.8. We strongly advise against using it in new code.

Wrap the pointers into Qt::totally_ordered_wrapper and use the respective Qt::compareThreeWay() overload instead.

Implements three-way comparison of pointers.

Returns an instance of Qt::strong_ordering that represents the relation between lhs and rhs.

#### Constraints

Participates in overload resolution only if `LeftType` and `RightType` are the same type, or base and derived types. It is also used to compare any pointer to `std::nullptr_t`.

This is an overloaded function.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.7.
