I really wish there was an option to disable "Run in terminal". Indeed, when I use Qt Creator is to develop code, debug things, etc., not to run a release version of my (console) application.

So, to be able to run a console application directly within Qt Creator makes a lot of sense to me. Yet, Qt Creator will by default run it in the terminal. One must therefore "manually" disable "Run in terminal", which is a real pain when you have a project with tens of targets.

Note: there is already an issue for this that was created 5 years ago, but for some reasons it was "discarded" and then closed...!? (See QTCREATORBUG-13016.)
