New issue 59621 by dmsuperman: Chrome has no option to disable the ctrl-q
shortcut
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=59621

Chrome Version : 6.0.472.59 beta

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use your browser as normal
2. Go to hit ctrl-tab or ctrl-w or ctrl-a or ctrl-1
3. Accidentally hit ctrl-q

What is the expected result?
I should either be able to disable this hotkey, or it should confirm my
decision (but only on the hotkey)

What happens instead?
The browser closes instantly, all of my open tabs are lost and any work
that I had open (in addition to all the time I spent opening all the tabs I
have open) is _lost_.

In the past week alone I have accidentally closed my browser so many times
that I _broke_ my keyboard in frustration today because I slammed my fist
down on it. It's absurd that I can't disable this "feature", or at least
get a confirmation that I want to actually instantly discard all of my
progress on all of my tabs. Ctrl-q is incredibly easy to accidentally brush

Additionally, in my setup ctrl-q is almost never the way to close an
application. If it were able to be changed from ctrl-q to whatever every
other application on my computer uses that would be just as acceptable.

Might it be possible to build a Chrome extension which modified the default
Control-Q behavior?

Workaround, add a keyconfig/shortcut manager plugin and override the ctrl+q
setting to something else.

This is not a work around at all as Ctrl-Shift-q does NOT show up in the
list of shortcuts. Even trying to add it in manually and set the action to
something else is impossible as chrome tries to shut down when you enter
the value into the shortcut box. This is the most retarded thing about
this god damn browser, how many sessions do I have to loose because I'm
pressing Ctrl-Shift Tab and I touch Q by mistaken. I mean how the hell did
yuo guys not realize that putting a shortcut that closes the entire browser
WITHOUT PROMPTING THE USER so close to two MAJOR shortcuts would be a
horrible horrible idea?

please fix it!!!!

I'm stopping using chrome for this reason. It's a stupid reason, so fix it.
I'm tired of loosing hours of work because ctrl+tab is immediately next to
ctrl+q

The most annoying software issue i have ever encountered in my life and I
am a software engineer!
