Basically because the system has no mouse or other input method besides keyboard.
So is it more an QT/E issue, is this again a wrong part of the forum? As the system is reserved only for this software, no X server is even needed. You may move the topic to the right forum if needed, I'm sorry for the mishap.

But do you have an X server there? If so, you can create a regular Qt app and operate it with your keyboard or touchscreen.

Anyway you can use Qt to help you operate on data, etc. but you should use ncurses library (or simmilar) for the text display if you don't want to use Xserver.

No X server, running on frame buffer. I'll check out the ncurses lib.
