Run a single test in Flash Builder?

Question

I have been using Flash Builder to build my flex software and I am a TDD guy. I find it irritating that I have to run ALL my tests in order to run any tests. It causes friction in my TDD workflow. I really want to write a test, and run that test in isolation. I do this in .Net all the time (with TD.NET plugin), but I can't find a way to do it in Flash Builder. Is there a way?

I just downloaded the trial InteliJ IDEA and it support the behavior I want. Can I do this in Flash Builder?

If you right-click on the actual test method in the Package Explorer and select the "Execute FlexUnit Tests" option it will only execute that specific test.

Cool! For bonus points, is there any way to do it from the editor? A hot key, preferably, so I don't even need to hit my mouse? – Brian Genisio Sep 30 '10 at 14:48
Select the method in the text editor and press Alt + Shift + E, F. – Colin Cochrane Sep 30 '10 at 14:56
