Hi,
unfortunately Qtcreator tends to be really picky with any 3rd party qml
module...
i think you need to have the file plugins.qmltypes somewhere where
qtcreator understands it (i don't know if is possible for plugins that are
shipped internally in the project like subsurface does)
perhaps yoy could try to build and install kirigami with its own cmake as a
plugin.. and install it right into the qt release that qtcreator is using,
that should fix at least autocompletion, not sure wether is enough to make
it available in the designer
