Yes, this does affect more than just the documents in the Tab Well – floating documents are also closed. Clicking this will prompt you to save your work and will then close all documents that are currently open. Under the Window menu is a handy command: Close All Documents.
So, for this “Tips and Tricks” article, I wanted to share some of those ways to quickly close documents. Once I discovered these, I never looked back.
That is, until I found out that there are better and more efficient ways to clean up the Tab Well. I’ll admit it: I used that feature quite a bit to quickly close tabs. When asked what they liked about the old placement, 99% of the time the response was, “I liked the ability to quickly close tabs by repeatedly clicking on the ‘X’ without moving my mouse.”
The majority of feedback around this change was positive, but, as with most UI changes, there has been a vocal group that preferred the older placement. In VS 2010, we made a design decision to move the “X” from the right side of the Tab Well to within each tab.
