+# Use Qt Creator as IDE or GUI Debugger
+
+[Qt Creator](https://www.qt.io/ide/)
+([Wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qt_Creator)) is a cross-platform C++ IDE.
+
+[TOC]
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. `ctrl+k` Activate Locator, you can open file(not support sublime-like-search) or type `. ` go to symbol.
+2. `ctrl+r` Build and Run, `F5` Debug.
+3. `F4` switch between header file and cpp file.
+4. `ctrl+shift+r` rename symbol under cursor.
+5. Code completion is built-in. And you can add your snippets.
+
+## Setup as IDE
+
+1. Install latest Qt Creator
+2. under chromium/src `gn gen out/Default --ide=qtcreator`
+3. qtcreator out/Default/qtcreator_project/all.creator
+
+It takes 3 minutes to parsing C++ files in my workstation!!! And It will not
+block you while parsing.
Primiano Tucci (use gerrit) 2017/02/09 13:45:56 I would probably mention that you can use Qt just
+
+### Code Style
+
+1. Help - About Plugins enable Beautifier.
+2. Tools - Options - Beautifier - Clang Format, select use predefined style:
+chromium. You can also set a keyboard shortcut for it.
+3. Tools - Options - Code Style import this xml file
+
+```

+
+### Build & Run
+
+In left panel, projects - setup the ninja command in build and clean step and
+executable chrome path in run.
+
+## Setup Debugger
+
+You can skip the project settings and use QtCreator as a single file standalone
+GDB frontend.
+
+1. Tools - Options - Build & Run - Debuggers, make sure GDB is set.
+2. Tools - Options - Kits, change the Desktop kit to GDB(LLDB doesnot work in
+ Linux).
+3. Open file you want to debug.
+4. Debug - Start Debugging - Attach to running Application, you may need to
+ open chrome's task manager to find the process number.
+
+### Tips, tricks, and troubleshooting
+
+#### Make GDB start fast
+
+Add `gdb_index = true` to `gn args`.
+
+#### Debugger shows start then finish
+
+```
+$ echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope
+```
+
+#### Debugger do not stop in break point
+
+Ensure you are using GDB not LLDB in Linux.
+
+#### Chrome Flags
+
+```
