Read my comments carefully, I have nothing against keys that can cause data loss, sometimes that is the required behaviour. It would be a bit troublesome if we couldn't quit a program when we wanted to because we have changed some setting.

No, what I'm against is keys that make it easy to cause ACCIDENTAL data loss. In none of the other examples you provided is it easy to accidentaly loose data, only on purpose.

And this _is_ the sane, clean way of preventing data loss, all other ways are non-trivial, will take up developer time and will provide the same or worse results.
