Qt Quick Designer
summary
Qt Quick Designer edits QML by changing only the exact text fragments needed and keeps the rest intact, so edits only the tiny text diff and roundtrips with the code editor. Visual features include drag‑and‑drop layout, a states editor that highlights state-changed properties, anchors and expressions support, and custom QML components autoappear in the palette. Limitations: the tool ignores imperative JavaScript and complex runtime code, offers dummy data models for design-time data, and uses a separate QML puppet for C++ plugins to load native components.
