      The list of tools in https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/topics-app-development.html is incomplete, and the selection of mentioned tools also somewhat arbitrary.

      Missing are tools like

      • balsam
      • canbusutil
      • dumpcpp
      • dumpdoc
      • idc
      • lconvert
      • lprodump
      • lrelease-pro
      • lupdate-pro
      • pixeltool
      • [qdbusviewer|https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qdbusviewer.html
      • qdoc
      • qml
      • qmleasing
      • qmlformat
      • qmlimportscanner
      • qmllint
      • qmlmin
      • qmlplugindump
      • qmlpreview
      • qmlprofiler
      • qmlscene
      • qmltestrunner
      • qmltyperegistrar
      • qscxmlc
      • qtdiag
      • qpaths
      • qtplugininfo
      • qvkgen
      • rcc
      • repc
      • testcon
      • tracegen
      • uic
      • windeployqt
      • xmlpatterns
      • xmlpatternsvalidator

      Now not all of the tools are meant to be used directly by the user, nor are all important.

      I suggest that we do two things:

      • Try to group tools
      • Do generate the list automatically from the (sometimes) existing individual tool documentation

      Build Tools (typically host tools)

      • qmlmin
      • qmllint
      • qmltyperegistrar
      • qmlcachegen
      • qmlformat
      • qmlimportscanner
      • qmllint
      • qmlmin
