edit/browse toggle in LPEX

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

I would like to be able to toggle between browse mode and edit mode without closing the source member.


Use Case:

I might have a member open in the LPE editor and have several different views open. Shame to have to close all that just because I originally opened it in the wrong mode.

So, first scenario... I've explored the code and am all ready to make the necessary change, only to realize I'm in browse mode. It's a pain to have to close the member and lose my place just to switch modes.

Second scenario... I'm deep into analyzing a source member with multiple views open... another team member wants edit access to this member... but I have it open in edit mode. I want to be able to toggle to browse mode (allowing them edit access) so I don't have to close the member and completely lose my place.
