When you select some text you can press Ctrl+F to start searching for it 
(or start searching something else). It instantly highlights all 
matches, and you should be able to use F3 (or Ctrl+G on GNOME) to 
iterate through the results. In combination with Shift it searches 
backwards.

We should probably make sure the search bar also pops up when "Find 
Next" is invoked without having anything to search for.

That's nice to hear. :-)

Perforce is what we used internally for years and served us very well. 
It is indeed proprietary. Recently, Qt development has switched to git, 
and we do plan to do the same with QtCreator. We were just a bit too 
busy working on the alpha until now. :-)

We intend to make it possible to add additional version control systems 
via plugins.

Kind regards,
Bjørn
