Hold the option key and you get Save All. Or, option-command-S

I reversed the keyboard shortcuts for 'Save' and 'Save All', and now
Save All appears all of the time.

Note: I _want_ ⌘ + S to be "Save All" -- you might not want that.

You can do this either in BBEdit's preferences or System Preferences,
but I think it's easier to do in BBEdit's preferences.

You can search for menu items in the 'Search' field of the 'Help' menu.

Searching for 'save':


Searching for 'save all':


As you can see there is such an item, and it wasn't difficult to find it.

Many people seem to be unaware of this feature of Mac OS X.

Many people also seem to be unaware of the excellent BBEdit
manual, also available under the Help menu. Although in this
case, Christopher's suggestion is quicker solution.

So if you can't find what you're looking for, try the help menu
search, then try the BBEdit manual. Using those is generally
much quicker than waiting on replies from the mailing list.

Also, many people are unaware: if you have the menu open (say File menu in this case) and hold down a modifier key, the menu items will change to reflect that additional modifier key.

What? did they take it out?

No, I still have it.

I refer you to page 343 of the FM, "Listing by Default Key Equivalent".
