I've end up copying the source of TextArea (
/usr/lib/qt5/Sailfish/Silica/TextArea.qml ) and adding a custom signal
called pressed. This signal is fired when the Keys.onPressed for the
TextEdit [0] is fired. This signal send the KeyEvent object, so in order to
stop propagation event.accepted has to be setted to true.

With this approach i've encountered several issues:

1- The enter key isn't recognised as an Qt.Key_Enter, but as Qt.Key_Return,
so if you want to filter the enter key, you'll have to use `event.key ==
Qt.Key_Return`.
2- Although the shift is activated in the virtual keyboard, event.modifiers
is always 0. I was expecting i could do event.modifiers & Qt.ShiftModifier
in order to filter the Enter + Shift.
3- As Pekka Vourela said, only enter key and backspace send events.
