      Start Creator from the command line with the parameter -version.
      You'll see version info like:

        Android 4.9.1 Support for deployment to and execution on Android Devices.
        AutoTest 4.9.1 Auto Test plugin.
        AutotoolsProjectManager 4.9.1 Autotools project integration.
        BareMetal 4.9.1 This plugin adds a target for bare metal development.
      

      While all other plugins only write one line each, the EmacsKeys plugin is pretty talkative:

        EmacsKeys 4.9.1 The main idea behind this plugin is to provide additional actions a typical emacs user would expect. It doesn't claim to provide full emacs emulation. The following actions are available:
       - Movement [C-f, C-b, C-n, C-p, M-f, M-b, C-a, C-e, M-<, M->]
       - Mark-based selection [C-SPC, C-x C-x]
       - Cut/copy/yank (doesn't provide kill ring feature) [M-w, C-w, C-y]
       - Kill actions, which interact properly with clipboard [C-k, M-d, C-d]
       - Scrolling (half of the screen, keeps cursor visible) [C-v, M-v]
       - Insert new line and indent [C-j]
      
      IMPORTANT: Actions are not bound to any key combinations by default. You can find them under 'EmacsKeys' section in keyboard shortcuts settings.
      
      Also it's worth mentioning that EmacsKeys plugin forces disabling of menu mnemonics by calling Qt's qt_set_sequence_auto_mnemonic function with false argument. Many of the english menu mnemonics get into the way of typical emacs keys, this includes: Alt+F (File), Alt+B (Build), Alt+W (Window). It's a temporary solution, it remains until there is a better one.
      

      Please reduce this to one line.
