Terminal? That's a great addition!
GitHub Copilot? But why?

[Alexmitter]

Terminal? Better late then never
Copilot? I mean whoever uses Qt has no principles anyways, so I guess its THE target audience for copilot.

Copilot integration wouldn't be so bad if Copilot was free or had better pricing options. Then again, with what Qt costs, the costs of Copilot are negligible.

The integrated terminal is much welcomed addition.

"Qt only costs money if you want to develop proprietary extensions to Qt. Proprietary code that uses Qt can still be developed for free, because the LGPL and other licenses used in Qt allow runtime linking. Free software extensions to Qt can also be developed for free (obviously)."

[Nth_man]

"So you only pay if you want to improve Qt, but do not want to share your improvements. You want to take something, but give nothing in return - I think in that case it's reasonable that you should pay up."

...I mean whoever uses Qt has no principles anyways,..

Seriously? Please explain your logic on this asinine statement.

A console terminal inside a GUI app? That's some ground breaking innovation right here

I love QtCreator.. Great app..
But why did it take so long to add a terminal?
