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,
