Is CRTL-Q included? They always insisted that applications can't change that shortcut on Linux.

  Ctrl-Q (quit application) right next to Ctrl-W (close tab) has been bad UX since forever.

    I bind ctrl-q to lock screen in gnome, which is less bad than losing the whole browser. I suppose you could also bind it to a noop.

      You can tell firefox to ask before quitting ...
      • sevg 1y ago
        You can also tell Firefox to ignore it completely: browser.quitShortcut.disabled As well as to warn: browser.warnOnQuit browser.warnOnQuitShortcut Well, apparently I once was aware of these because I have it set in my custom user.js. But I guess ctrl-q will always be lock screen for me, old habits die hard.

          > browser.quitShortcut.disabled The setting is there, it's editable, but Firefox seems to completely ignore it on Linux. At least up to 145.0.1.

            I use 144.0.2 on Linux and it works entirely fine here.

            Hmm, maybe it’s still necessary to rebind ctrl-q in some cases. This says gnome has ctrl-q to quit applications: https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/OS/KeyboardShortcuts https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/OS/KeyboardShortcuts I don’t know if the above is still the default, but I have this in my gnome setup scripts anyway: gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys screensaver “[‘<Control>q’]” (IIRC it’s a terminal command because trying to bind ctrl-q in Settings will quit the Settings window. And you can’t unbind ctrl-q completely, so you have to bind it to something else. You could maybe add it as a custom launcher that just runs /bin/true.)

        and testing it now, it asks me by default, and I never changed that setting

    > Ctrl-Q (quit application) right next to Ctrl-W (close tab) That bug was actually fixed in the Dvorak release...

    On a German PC keyboard, @ is ALT+Q. That was a big problem when I switched to macOS. I kept hitting CMD+Q every time I tried to type an email address.

  I need source on that Ctrl+Q thing
