I want to prevent the text box from the user to avoid typing the special characters. I have tried with keyPressEvent but it's called after clicking the OK button.

Code:

text, okPressed = QInputDialog.getText(
    self, "Create category", "Enter category name:", QLineEdit.Normal, ""
)
if okPressed and text != "":
    print(text)

def keyPressEvent(self, event):
    print("keyPressEvent")
    print(event)

How can I avoid some specific characters in the QInputDialog?

You can do the same as the duplicated post by using a QValidator or just installing an event filter on the QLineEdit. – musicamante Jul 13 '21 at 11:22
Please read the question, it's not related to Completer. It's the question to avoid special characters in the text box...! @musicamante – T.SURESH ARUNACHALAM Jul 13 '21 at 11:46
