           Summary: Make option to build from current document directory
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: CVS
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdevelop-devel at kdevelop.org

Version:           CVS (using KDE KDE 3.1.4)

OS:          Linux

I find myself iterating on a single file or set of files tucked away in a few separate directories in a rather large project. When I am ready to test changes, I:
1. go to the automake manager
2. highlight the directory
3. click the "build" button. 

It would be nice to have an option, easily bound to an accelerator/shortcut that would build in the current document's directory. This would remove several steps from the build process. Setting the "active target" is quite usable when I am working in a single area, but cumbersome as I move around the project directories.

Ideally, building is a one-step process that does not involve my hand leaving the keyboard to navigate the UI with the mouse looking for buttons to click.
