L was probably use since it is used for Close all in the File menu (to close all editors). What if we changed the mneumonic of the Open menu item in the Perpsective menu to be use P? I think the Open command is more important than the Close All command, and should therefore have an obvious mnemonic like its current O. I originally filed this PR because I wanted ALT+P, O to give me the open menu, but instead it jumps to Close All currently. I'd prefer to change Close All to L and live with the inconsistency with the File menu. In fact, there's an argument for making them slightly different because people sometimes confuse them currently, and end up closing all their perspectives when they wanted to close all their editors. Another option, which would solve both problems, would be to rename both Close and Close All to &Close Perspective and Close All &Perspectives. Used the original suggestion of 'L' as mnemonic. Released. |
