I think command+option+w should be close all (windows in a project) rather than soft wrap. All other applictions (and by that I mean at least the finder and pages) close all windows on command+option+w.

Mail.app certainly doesn't. Terminal doesn't. I would guess that most Cocoa apps don't.

Argh, the inconsistencies ... oh well, since I got unsanitys Mex Menus, I do what I want anyway :) Perhaps it's mainly implemented in stuff with many windows, mail really has only one window usually (at least that's how I use it, Allan seems to have many), terminal though strikes me as a "window" application ... it's to bad this isn't controlled more centrally and consintently by Apple, at least in their own apps.

I wonder why, as "alt + clic on the close button" close all windows, it seems to me that "alt + the shortcut for close" should do the same. Or else, there is no way to close all windows/tabs without the mouse?
It works in Safari, Pages, Finder, Preview, ...?

But then, maybe it should be _windows_ and not tabs?
However, in TextMate I've tried to use option-cmd to toggle (an option):
Foldings at level -> 0-9 Freehanded Edit -> E Line numbers -> L Overwrite mode -> O Show Bookmarks -> B Show Invisible -> I Soft Wrap -> W
I may have left out some, but all these toggle, and they use option- cmd as modifier. So granted the argument for putting Close All Tabs on option (also since alternate menu items generally prefer the option modifier), changing just soft wrap to e.g. ctrl-cmd would IMHO give more inconsistency.
The Close All Tabs is slightly consistent since New Project, Save Project and Save Project As… use ctrl-cmd (adding shift for the latter) as modifier keys.

That might be so :) And considering that things may soon change on the window/tab/project front, I'll reset the defaults for now and see what comes ...

I was wondering a bit about the ideas behind the different shortcuts, and of course it's important to keep consistency within keyboard shortcut "groups". Thanks for the thoughts.
