Description

When working in a monorepo (like this - https://github.com/jacobp100/technicalc-core), the build will only start when you open a file in one of the packages, and will only build that package. It would be nice to be able to build all packages concurrently

Also, if you close all open files, the build stops, and needs to be restarted when opening another file
