        \li \l{Writing Code}

            Writing, editing, and navigating in source code are core tasks in
            application development. Therefore, the code editor is one of the
            key components of \QC. You can use the code editor in the
            \uicontrol Edit mode.

        \li \l{Finding}

            Use the incremental and advanced search to search from currently
            open projects or files on the file system or use the locator to
            browse through projects, files, classes, functions, documentation
            and file systems.

        \li \l{Refactoring}

            Code refactoring is the process of improving and simplifying code
            without modifying the existing functionality of an application. You
            can easily find and rename symbols and apply predefined actions to
            refactor code.

        \li \l{Beautifying Source Code}

            Beautifying code means applying indentation and style to source
            code files. You can use the Artistic Style, ClangFormat, or
            Uncrustify tool to format source files.

        \li \l{Configuring the Editor}

            You can change the fonts, colors, highlighting, and indentation.
            If you are used to the Vim editor, you can even run the main
            editor in a manner similar to it in the \uicontrol{FakeVim} mode.

        \li \l{Editing MIME Types}

            \QC uses the MIME type of a file to determine which mode and editor
            to use for opening the file. If your files do not match the
            predefined MIME types, you can edit the MIME types.

        \li \l{Comparing Files}

            You can use a diff editor to compare two versions of a file and
            view the differences side-by-side in the \uicontrol Edit mode.

        \li \l{Parsing C++ Files}

            An experimental Clang code model plugin enables you to replace the
            built-in \QC code model with the Clang code model. Clang is a C
            language family front end for LLVM. Clang provides you with more
            accurate information than the built-in code model but can be slower
            to use for large projects.
