217513 - remove control-shift-w = quit keyboard shortcut

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Mikel Ward]

If I remember rightly, the control-q keyboard shortcut was removed from
Phoenix/Firebird some time ago because it was likely to be accidentally
pressed.  It seems control-shift-w was implemented in its place.

Having just accidentally pressed control-shift-w (having meant to press
control-w), I ask that this keyboard shortcut be removed from the default
user profile.

For what it's worth, I am actually in favor of a control-q keyboard shortcut,
as this is the shortcut expected in Mac and GNOME applications, but I figure
if the logic is to not have any majorly destructive keyboard shortcut that
could be accidentally pressed, then surely by this logic control-shift-w
should also be removed.

This could also be related to bug 39057, but it seems that's been marked
WONTFIX. :-/

Ctrl+Shift+W is Close Window, not Quit.

people use this, its not something that's highly dangerous due to ease of access
etc.
