I guess the title says it all, I am looking for to bind or use an existing shortcut to close all visible tool windows in VS2008.

There was an add-in for VS2005 to do this, but it doesn't seem to work in VS2008.

Thanks!

+5  A: 

Tools->Options->Keyboard->Assign key for Window.AutoHideAll command

With Shift-Esc you can close active toolbox

Using Window.AutoHideAll and at the same time uncheck "Animate environment tools" under Options->General will be an acceptable solution. Too bad that the tabs are visible, but I can live with that :o) Thanks!

+1  A: 

Use Shift+Alt+Enter to switch to Full Screen mode, this will automatically hide all the windows.

When I open a tool window when in FullSceen mode it will be remembered and opened again next time I enter Full Screen mode.
