Well, so it does! Shucks, and I used to read the HIG so
religiously :-). But unlike the Finder, pressing the Option key
does not effect Xcode's File menu, nor does Command-Option-W work.

Excellent! Thank you for the tip.
It's too bad this "feature" isn't documented.
As far as Mac behaviors go, it is documented.[1]
I've noticed a problem that many developers, including the NeXT
guys at Apple and probably interns at Apple, don't read the
guidelines documentation. Command-Option-W is supposed to Close
All windows (within the application).
Same thing goes with Option-Minimize and Option-Zoom: the behavior
is supposed to then apply to all of the windows. Also of note:
currently this "all" actually does as it says and includes
minimized windows, as well. (For both closing all and zooming all.)
The menu should update itself in real time when you press the
option key (you can try this out in the Finder).

[1] From the current HIG:
"Also use Option for a keyboard shortcut that is a convenience or
power-user feature. For example,
the Finder uses Command-Option-W for Close All Windows and Command-
Option-M for Minimize
All Windows."
It's also too bad that "command-option-w" doesn't work, which
would seem to be the command-key equivalent of what you propose.
I just get a system beep when I try "command-option-w". It's
also too bad that this "feature" isn't listed in the "Key
Bindings" tab of the Xcode preferences.
