Mode selectors allow you to quickly switch between tasks: Editing, browsing
the Qt Creator manual, setting up the build environment, etc. You can
activate a mode by either clicking on its mode selector, or using the
\l{keyboard-shortcuts}{corresponding shortcut}. Certain actions also
trigger a mode change, e.g., \gui{Debug}/\gui{Start Debugging} will switch
to the \gui Debug mode.

\section1 The Output Panes
The task pane in Qt Creator can display one out of four different panes:
Task List, Search Results, Application Output, and Compile Output. These
panes are available in all modes.
The task pane in Qt Creator can display one of four different panes:
\gui{Build Issues}, \gui{Search Results}, \gui{Application Output}, and
\gui{Compile}. These panes are available in all modes.
\section2 Task List
\section2 Build Issues
The Task List provides a list of important tasks such as error messages
that need to be fixed. It filters out irrelevant output from the compiler
and collects them in the form of tasks.
The {Build Issues} pane provides a list of issues, e.g., error messages or
warnings that need to be fixed. It filters out irrelevant output from the
compiler and collects them in an organized way.

\section2 Search Results
The Search Results pane displays the results for global searches such as
searching within a current document, files on disk, or all projects.
In the screenshot below, we searched for all occurrences of \c{textfinder}
within the "/TextFinder" folder.
The \gui{Search Results} pane displays the results for global searches such

\section2 Application Output
This pane displays the status of the program when it is executed, as
well as debug output, for example, output from qDebug().
The \gui{Application Output} pane displays the status of the program when
it is executed and debug output, e.g., output from qDebug().

The Compile Output provides all the output from the compiler. In other
words, it is a more verbose version of the Task List.
The \gui{Compile} pane provides all the output from the compiler. In other
