+### Debugging
+
+To visualize QT types like `QString`, you need to inform CLion and LLDB
+about these types.
+
+1. Set `Enable NatVis renderers for LLDB option`
+   in `Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | Debugger | Data Views | C/C++` (should be enabled by default).
+2. Use the official NatVis file for QT from [`qt-labs/vstools`](https://github.com/qt-labs/vstools) by saving them to
+   the project root using PowerShell:
+
+<!--
+When switching to QT6 these need to be updated to qt6.natvis.xml.
+We need to do the replacement as the QT tools:

+```powershell
+(iwr "https://github.com/qt-labs/vstools/raw/dev/QtVsTools.Package/qt5.natvis.xml").Content -replace '##NAMESPACE##::', '' | Out-File qt5.natvis

+```
+
+Now you can debug the application and see QT types rendered correctly.
+If this didn't work for you, try following
