Is there a simple one-shot way (keyboard command, right mouse click, etc) to clear all breakpoints?
Xcode 2.4.1, OSX 10.4.10

Command-option-B, command-A, delete ?

Don't forget Command-W if you didn't have that window open before. Any plans to get it down from four steps to one Clear All Breakpoints command?

Not that this is something I actually care about, but is there no way to write a script that will do it and assign that a command?

To my way of thinking scripts are for performing actions that need to be customized to your project, not to implement generic features a lot of people could use. For the latter it's much less work for one engineer at Apple to implement -- in this case -- a fairly simple command than to have hundreds or thousands of Xcode users writing scripts that all do the exact same thing. To the extent scripts allow us to automate a customized sequence of actions they're a real asset. To the extent they're used to justify not implementing useful features they are a liability.

It just doesn't seem like an operation that would happen often enough to spend time on it though.

It is for some people, especially if they're used to having the command in CodeWarrior. In my experience it's easy to leave breakpoints in my code when I'm debugging. Stop at a breakpoint, step for a while, add another breakpoint without removing the first, and so on. Eventually I track down the problem, but I have a bunch of breakpoints scattered around in my code I want to remove with a single command. Apparently I'm not the only one as evidenced by the existence of this thread. ;-)
