How to intercept arrow clicks in PyQt?

Question

Python

I need to intercept arrow clicks in a QTextEdit. How to do it? We need to intercept the shooters. I tried to make a global interception of the KeyPress event, but for some reason the arrows are not intercepted.

here, catch the scraps of the working code:

.....
    self.keymap=
                {Qt.Key_Left: _board.tryLeft,
                 Qt.Key_Right: _board.tryRight,
                 Qt.Key_Up: _board.tryRorateCCW,
                 Qt.Key_Down: _board.tryRorateCCW,
                 Qt.Key_Space: _board.dropDown,
                 Qt.Key_D: _board.tryLineDown}
........
    def keyPressEvent(self, event):
        key = event.key()
        if key == Qt.Key_Escape:
            self.paused ^= True
        elif not self.paused and key in self.keymap:
            self.keymap[key]()
        else:
            super(Tetris, self).keyPressEvent(event)
