Totally agree. In fact, it is one of my biggest issues moving from Linux to Mac (which is supposed to be oh so good about UX/UI). Fortunately there is a hack where you can map the Command+Q to something less malign like "invert the colors on the screen" so I won't accidentally kill the whole app when intending to only close a small part of it. I just wanted to disable it, but well at least inverting colors is reversible.
- wolfgang42 6y agoHaving a dedicated keyboard shortcut for Quit made a lot more sense when it was something you’d often do as much as or more than closing documents, sometimes dozens of times during a single project. (Open Illustrator, copy, quit Illustrator, open Word, paste, quit Word, open Illustrator...) It’s less helpful nowadays when you can just leave applications lying around until next time you need them.
