Qt

Coding

  • Writing Code

    Writing, editing, and navigating in source code are core tasks in application development. Therefore, the code editor is one of the key components of Qt Creator. You can use the code editor in the Edit mode.

  • Finding

    Use the incremental and advanced search to search from currently open projects or files on the file system or use the locator to browse through projects, files, classes, methods, documentation and file systems.

  • Refactoring

    Code refactoring is the process of improving and simplifying code without modifying the existing functionality of an application. You can easily find and rename symbols and apply predefined actions to refactor code.

  • Configuring the Editor

    You can change the fonts, colors, highlighting, and indentation. If you are used to the the Vim editor, you can even run the main editor in a manner similar to it in the FakeVim mode.

  • Editing MIME Types

    Qt Creator uses the MIME type of a file to determine which mode and editor to use for opening the file. If your files do not match the predefined MIME types, you can edit the MIME types.

  • Comparing Files

    You can use a diff editor to compare two versions of a file and view the differences side-by-side in the Edit mode.
