I prefer using cltr+N, for new Set, which also closes the current one (instead of closing Live itself).

Looking at the API, it doesn't seem to have functions/classes for putting samples offline.

Is there no way in Ableton to set up a shortcut key to invoke an Ableton script to "put all audio files in the project offline"?
Probably. But its not going to be trivial.
