Read CMake documentation

CMake documentation is installed in Qt help file format (.qch) when you install CMake. It is automatically registered by Qt Creator, and you can view it by:

  • Hovering the mouse over a function, variable, property, policy, environment variable, or CMake find or include module to show tooltips
  • Selecting any of the above elements and pressing F1 to show its documentation
  • Switching to the Help mode

To view the documentation online, open it in the Help mode and select (Open Online Documentation).
