[Qt-creator] another round of suggestions

QtCreator team,

Again, great product.  I'm loving using it.  Six requests:

1. When I press enter, auto-indentation is ignored if I'm splitting a  
line.  That is, in this situation:
	foo bar baz[cursor]
pressing enter does what you want:
	foo bar baz
	[cursor]
but in this situation:
	foo bar [cursor]baz
pressing enter does not do what you want:
	foo bar
[cursor]baz

2. Is it possible to have a preference for turning off the  
highlighting of the current line under the cursor?  Some might call it  
distracting.

3. Perhaps this is one of the C++ tools you hope to one day add, but:   
Put cursor on symbol (or right-click symbol) and ask IDE to find all  
code in current project (all projects?) that references that symbol.   
I.e., "Who calls this function?"

4. What if failed QtTest output were parsed correctly and added to the  
Task List?  That is, based on console output like the following, I'd  
like to have a task that I can double-click to go to line 95 of  
test_foo.cpp.
FAIL!  : test_foo::test_func() 'bar' returned FALSE. ()
    Loc: [test_foo.cpp(95)]

5. As others have mentioned, I, too, have been able to make the  
program crash when choosing a method from the drop-down box near the  
title bar.

6. Very low priority: Is it possible to insert new command-line script  
calls that can be run instead of "make"?  That is, what if I want to  
run Doxygen?  Or the script that uploads my docs to the web?  Is there  
a way to do this with custom builds or something that I haven't  
noticed yet?  It would be nice to keep these things all inside the  
"project" umbrella that QtCreator embodies on my screen, but perhaps  
this is getting too kitchen-sink-like.

Thanks!

Nathan
