I'm afraid that too much to ask of a single CV command. The best
you can do, I think, is to change one keyword per command, like
this:

cva |notify()|notify()<$Inotify,api:notify|

To avoid typing that long command for every keyword, you could write
a little program, like CVAPI.PM below, that would accept the keyword
that you want to change as a (case-sensitive) argument. So, to
change all instances of notify(), you'd command:

RUN CVAPI.PM notify

Here's the program:

XPLeNCODE v2.0
b-gin [UNTITLED]
;*; CVAPI.PM[cr|lf][BX_]cva |{<}PV00{>}()|{<}PV00{>}()<$I{<}P
V00{>},api:{<}PV00{>}>|[Q2_]{<}EX{>}[cr|lf][cr|lf]
-nd
XPLeNCODE
