Hi,

I'm doing trainings from time to time, and I'm using Qt Creator as my editor 
during the trainings.
The basic setup is a dual-screen setup: my laptop and the beamer. I'm using 
this setup because I can display the slide on the beamer, and see the next 
slides+notes on the laptop.

As you can imagine, it doesn't play well with Qt Creator, so I created a new  
window to clone the current editor, and a menu item to display it. So now I 
can work on my laptop and students see what I'm typing. Whenever I change the 
editor in Qt Creator, it's changed in the presenter window, the cursor are 
synced and the current line stay in the middle of the presenter window.

I tested it and it's working quite well (minus one crash when removing all 
editors), my question is: does it make sense to clean it up and do a merge 
request? or put in another way, are you interested in such a feature?
I can totally understand the answer is no.

It's not a new plugin (can't do it like that, as it needs some internal 
classes), but the patch is really small:
For those interested:

Thanks,
Nicolas
