Bug Description

Users may accidentally press Ctrl+Q when trying to press Ctrl+A (I have done this many times), which results in the browser closing for no apparent reason, making Midori feel buggy and unstable. This should either be removed (most browsers have done this), or changed to something that is harder to accidentally trigger. (Ctrl+Shift+Q?)

This is the default behavior in most applications (including firefox and opera), but if you don't like it you can change it with the "shortcuts" extension.

I actually agree with the reporter here, it happened to me in the past as well when I actually was reaching for Ctrl+W. After some discussion we agreed on Ctrl+Shift+Q, which is harder to hit accidentally and still sufficiently convenient.

I was about to add a bug report to add Ctrl+Q for closing, but it turns out “it's a feature, not a bug”.
