    Default Display console output in main window in a sidebar

    I am currently using QTCreator to test some basic non-QT C++ project. Whenever I click the Run button, all the output messages are printed in a newly opened terminal window (I am using Mac OSX Mavericks), there I have to press Enter after it is done then close the terminal (unlike Windows, pressing Enter doesn't auto close the terminal).

    Is it possible to show the output in one sidebar or bottom bar like Eclipse CDT plugin does, without opening a new terminal window? If so, please tell me how.

    Go to project settings pane to the "Run" tab and uncheck "Run in terminal".

    Can you tell me where do I find the project settings menu? Right clicking on the project name shows a menu all right, but no Run tab..

    On the left of Creator's window there is a vertical list of buttons, one of them is called "Projects" (Ctrl+5 on Windows/Linux).
