Add "Open for Edit" shortcut in IBM Rational Developer for i

When the developers browse source codes using IBM Rational Developer for i, they often open source members using mouse right-click option 'Browse With" as they do not want to lock the source member while browsing.
When the developer decides to actually change already opened source member, it is needed to find the exact source member again in Remote Systems Explorer and open it for edit.
Please add new option "Open for Edit" to context menu accessible at the tab with the name of opened source member, which will allow quickly open for edit source member, which is already opened for browse.


Use Case:

Expected use case:
- open source member for browse,
- new tab is opened with source code, marked as "Browse",
- right-click on tab name, currently there is only option to close the tab, add new option there "Open for Edit"
- when option "Open for Edit" will be selected, the same source member is now available for editing

    IBM should reject this, or mark it "Delivered".

    As a previous poster noted more than 18 months ago:

    When a member is open for browse and you want to edit it, press Ctrl+Shift+G or double click on the word "Browse" in the status bar. This toggles the mode between Browse and Edit.

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.

    The status is indicated clearly by different tab icons and the headline, that shows "Browse" when the editor is in "Browse" mode.
