Have compile action always available

When you have a source member(s) open and the cursor is not active in the active source member and you use Ctl+Shift+C just compile the active source member.

Currently it is grayed out and thus, annoying.


Use Case:

I'm editing a source member, clicked on another view. Then either clicking Ctl+Shift+C or using the menu to compile the active source member and it is grayed out/doesn't work. I then have to click in the source member to compile it.

    Thank you for taking the time to submit your request. After careful consideration, we know that we cannot deliver your requested enhancement in the near term, so it is being declined. However, your request does align with the future strategy of our product and we believe it may have future value, so we will add it to an internal list for us to keep in mind for the future.

    Seems like a bug that should be fixed!

    Compiling shouldn't require a 2nd right-click to compile (same with Compile menu option). The same thing with doing a Ctrl+Shift+C. If editing, then saving a change, doesn't work! Need to move the cursor and then try again!!

    We have reviewed this requirement and we feel it would be a beneficial enhancement to the product. We hope to be able to add it to our development plans in the future.

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