Finally! GNU Emacs version 31 supports Qt6 as graphical toolkit

Show all headers | View raw

GTK4 will drop support for Xorg, so I'm happy to see that the
Church of St. Ignucius finally came to the awareness that
something needs to be done to keep Emacs running nicely on both
Xorg as well as Wayland. On the emacs-announce mailing-list it has
been announced today that GNU Emacs will support Qt6 as graphical
toolkit backend via ./configure --with-toolkit=qt6. Commits have
already been merged into the master branch, so Emacs version 31
will be the first version to support this.

Similar to ‘pure-GTK’, it's also a ‘pure’ implementation that is
somewhat parallel to Emacs' internal abstractions. Some people
have already been discussing if we can squeeze more features out
of Qt6 by using its (proprietary) Enterprise Edition, for example
for multi-touch gestures. This is also great news for the Android
port of Emacs, since Qt6 scales well for small- and medium-sized
displays.
