Hi,
Is it possible to configure C::B to invoke autocomplete for all keywords (or a subset of them) contained within the file when that file is saved?
(I want to make C::B autocomplete e.g. the 'today' or 'now' keyword on save)
Thanks in advance :)

p.s. The keywords I mean are those defined in Settings > Editor > Abbreviations. Maybe it can be done a different way ..
Using: C::B Version 1.0 revision 3145 (2006-10-25 18:03:49) gcc 3.4.5 Windows/unicode

Here is a case where searching for anything with a $ in it will get you nowhere.
Searching for today or now will get you everything.
Anyway, maybe the above link will help
Enter the WiKi, type in "shortcuts" in the search field, press search and the first hit is this:
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Keyboard_Shortcuts (http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Keyboard_Shortcuts)
Scroll down and see... you'll find CTRL+J.
With regards, Morten.
I think what he is asking for is something different... he wants those keywords to be magically replaced when a file is saved, every time. Much in the sense of what a source control system does when you update.
The only keyword substitution that is supported by Code::Blocks is the one described by Pecan and Morten, and it only works for the current word (thus, you cannot simply type 3 dozen keywords and hit Ctrl-J once, it doesn't work that way). This is deliberate, too, as it might otherwise terribly mess up your sources.
I exactly ment what Thomas said. One solution I found in one of the links you posted is the ability to use svn-vars which are autoreplaced on commit, it's something that I will probably use. Anyway, thank you all :)
