    When I press F2 on a class name in a source which uses it QtC navigates me to the header file copied to build dir, not to the original one in the source tree. It is very annoying and leads to errors when I try to edit header copy which will be overwritten on the next build and not the original header. Also F4 on the header copy do not lead me back to the .cpp source file or wise versa: F4 from cpp goes to header in build dir, not original one. How to change this behavior? I have cmake project.

      Why are you copying the header file to the build dir? Usually, this is not necessary.

      @Aleksey_K said in Navigate to header in source tree:

      navigates me to the header file copied to build dir, not to the original one in the source tree.

      Usually, this is because of the order of directories in the include search paths. I am only aware of additional preprocessor defines in QtCreator, but not separate include search paths.
