Well, when I originally wrote all this (for BBEdit) I didn't assign  
any keyboard shortcuts. Especially the open all in current file is a  
command that can easily be run from a menu, and even "open  
selection" (when patched to correct for the TeX idiosyncrasies) can  
reside in the file menu (and have a global scope from there). I don't  
think that open selection is so important to warrant a really short,  
and easily overloaded ⌅ shortcut.
