Hi all,

An old thread, but may be helpful to others.

I ended up doing somewhat like Petar suggested, except I put my removals inside
if's so my Qt Creator wouldn't become unusable for my C++ work.

The only useful criteria I could find for this alternate behaviour to be automatic
is the session name. So by naming my linux kernel session using the keywords:
"linux" or "kernel", the if's kick in and ban all C++ keywords.

Here's the code: https://github.com/jeff-dagenais/qt-creator/commits/c_only_hack

It's based on 3.2 but can probably be rebased easily, haven't tried yet.

Enjoy!
