Of course it's possible to click the editor view, the point is to be able to 
get back to the editor without leaving the keyboard. Focus is often 
unexpectedly shifted away after things like 'build' and such. IMHO, there 
needs to be a keyboard way to get back to the source, but I don't think it's 
necessary as a menu entry.
