As it happened I needed this feature yesterday evening since with my 
hobby project I'm currently at the stage of fixing a large amount of 
compile errors after doing a big merge, and it was very annoying to keep 
pressing Ctrl+B all the time.

For now I just wrote a quick hack, which you can apply to your Qt 
Creator to make it do that:

Since it turned out pretty useful I am considering to try a proper 
implementation and having it as an option.

Bjørn
