Description

As far as I know,
all PyQt controls(such as QPushButton, QTreeWidget, QTableWidget and so on) inherit from QWidget.
QWidget has MouseEvent, PressEvent and so on.
Subclasses simply inherit from QWidget and override the Event function.

And QWidget has an EventFilter to filter events or prevent them from bubbling.

In addition, Qt also uses signal/slot for decoupling.

What do you think of this suggestion?

Research direction

Start by reviewing prompt-toolkit's existing control, widget, event-handling, and signal/slot-related APIs. Compare them with the proposed PyQt-style inheritance, event filtering, and decoupling model, then define the intended scope and acceptance criteria before implementation.
