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.

That bug was actually fixed in the Dvorak release...

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 ...
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.

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