When I want to run my app in QtCreator I use combination of Ctrl + r, but I can't seem to find similar shortcut for stopping the app once it started (i.e. keyboard shortcut for Stop button on Application Output pane. It annoys me that I have to use mouse for stopping it.
I run this app on remote device, but I don't think it is important in this case.
Go to Tools -> Options, select Environment and Keyboard tab.
Search for: stop and set a Shortcut for ProjectExplorer->Stop.
