Unfortunately the term "softkeys" has different meanings to different people. If you're referring to the keyboard up/down/left/right keys on a Symbian platform:

enum SymbianKeyCodes {
	KeyLeftArrow = 63495,
	KeyRightArrow = 63496,
	KeyUpArrow = 63497,
	KeyDownArrow = 63498
};

void QDataEntryColumn::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent* event) {
	QString key = event ->text();
	if (allowKeyboard) {
		if (key.size()) {
                        handleKey(key);
			return;
		}
		else if (event ->key() == Qt::Key_Tab) {
			// We never appear to get here
			emit right();
			return;
		}
		else if (event ->key() == Qt::Key_Backtab) {
			// we never appear to get here
			emit left();
			return;
		}
#ifdef  Q_OS_SYMBIAN
		else if (event ->nativeVirtualKey() == KeyLeftArrow) {
			emit left();
			return;
		}
		else if (event ->nativeVirtualKey() == KeyRightArrow) {
			emit right();
			return;
		}
		else if (event ->nativeVirtualKey() == KeyUpArrow) {
			emit up();
			return;
		}
		else if (event ->nativeVirtualKey() == KeyDownArrow) {
			emit down();
			return;
		}
#endif
	}
	QWidget::keyPressEvent(event);
}
