The Visual Studio for C++ defines a keyboard shortcut F7 for building the whole solution. However, it doesn't define a keyboard shortcut for building the default project.
Usually, a solution contains many projects and one of the projects is defaulted. If I modified some code in the default project and want to build it, I must use the mouse to right-click the project name, and select the 'build' menu. It's slow and tedious.
Is there a way to define a keyboard shortcut such as F4 for building the default project?

Customize a keyboard shortcutOn the menu bar, choose Tools > Options. Expand Environment, and then choose Keyboard.
In VS2013, I needed to use the Command Build.BuildSelection instead of Build.BuildOnlyProject.
