Based on the Qt 6.2 LTS series of the popular widget toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces for cross-platform apps, Qt Creator 6 is here a little over three months after Qt Creator 5 with various new features and many improvements for Qt application developers.

Highlights of Qt Creator 6 include separate launching of external processes, such as the build tools, clang-tidy and other tools to avoid issues on Linux, support for general multi-cursor editing, support for importing and exporting font settings in the text editor, C++ code model based on LLVM 13, as well as full support for editing C++ with Clangd.
