Description Nick Edgar CLA 2001-10-19 10:29:24 EDT 
Open and Close All both have O as the mnemonic in the Perspective menu.
Should use L for Close All.
Comment 1 Karice McIntyre CLA 2001-10-19 13:00:34 EDT 
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?
Comment 2 Nick Edgar CLA 2001-10-19 14:43:56 EDT 
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.
