EmacsKeys

EmacsKeys is a plugin that brings Emacs key bindings and functionality to the Qt Creator IDE.

Latest Updates

For a version that works with version 2.5.2 of Qt Creator, see repository: https://github.com/mrjames313/emacskeys.

EmacsKeys provides the following features:

EmacsKeys.kms - A Keyboard Mapping Scheme for Qt Creator that can be imported in Options -> Environment -> Keyboard. It overrides some of the standard key bindings used in Qt Creator and replaces them with Emacs ones: C-s, C-x,s, C-x,C-s, C-x,C-w.
Kill ring - the Emacs kill ring allows you to maintain a history of your clipboards content. Caveat: It only works when text is inserted into it with C-W, M-w, C-k, M-d and M-Backspace.
The following keys work as expected: C-n, C-p, C-a, C-e, C-b, C-f, M-b, M-f, M-d, M-Backspace, C-d, M-<, M->, C-v, M-v, C-Space, C-k, C-y, M-y, C-w, M-w, C-l, C-@.
C-x,b opens the quick open dialog at the bottom left.
C-x,C-b switches to the File System view on the left.
M-/ triggers the code completion that is triggered by C-Space normally.
Mnemonics are removed from some of the menus to allow conflicting Emacs keys to work.
