KDE4's ktimetracker loaded as QtCreator project

To create your C++ applications you can use any text editor. But life will be much easier if you gain QtCreator's features. That means

  • you can get your source code saved, built and run with one click
  • you get code-completion
  • you can find all places in your source code where you call a function (e.g. "where do I call refresh()")
  • you can go back to a more recent cursor position with your editor, even if this is in another file
  • you can checkout and commit to Subversion or Git repositories without leaving your workflow
