You're right, and actually in QtCreator source code we also don't indent 
those things, so you can be sure we'll fix the automatic indenter at 
some point. :)

The same goes with "namespace blah {", which also many people don't want 
to indent. Of course, it's hard to make everyone happy without extensive 
configurability.

We plan to add Ctrl + Click for navigating eventually, since it is 
indeed a nice way to browse code. I don't think our keyboard 
configuration would allow for keys to be configured in combination with 
the mouse, though. For example, with Ctrl + Click you want to jump to 
the symbol where your mouse is, not to the symbol under your cursor. So 
assigning that to "Jump to symbol under cursor" wouldn't really help you 
anyway.

Yes, we definitely want to do stuff like that.
