Im kind of the guy that uses both mouse clicks and keyboard shortcuts for stuff... one thing about a keyboard shortcut is really bugging me tho... Its that Ctrl + Q, the command to quit out of SL, is right next to Ctrl + W, which is used to close the currently active window. I never use Ctrl + Q to quit SL, I eiather select quit from the menu, just press the power button on my computer, or use Alt + F4. I am constantly finding myself accidentally quitting SL instead of closing the window due to my odd, no-eyes, touch-type-like typing style. I would really like Ctrl + Q removed and just renaming the "File> Quit Ctrl + Q" to "File> Quit Alt + F4". Alt + F4 already works to quit SL... and its farther away from the close window keyboard shortcut.

Pretty much everyone except Windows does Control-Q or Command-Q or Meta-Q to quit programs. I say we should keep it.

I second Nada's idea. And in fact am almost sure I have seconded it before.
