What we REALLY need..
Authored by: Chas on May 18, '05 01:53:01PM

I'd be a very happy if Apple or some third-party would fix the ONE most GLARING problem in Safari. Someone needs to add a dialog "Do you really want to Quit? [cancel] [quit]" box after a Command-Q. Since Cmd-Q and Cmd-W are so close together on they keyboard, I have quite frequently missed the W and hit Q by mistake, blowing away all my open Safari windows without any chance to abort the quit.

cmd-Q handler

Oh, maybe I was wrong about Taboo handling cmd-Q. It only intercepts gumdrop-clicking to close a window containing multiple tabs?

I really hate programs that require confirmation of quitting. I rarely ever hit command-q by mistake. I'd rather have that unfortunate outcome occur very, very rarely and not be annoyed 99.999% of the time. Now, accidentally closing a window that contains multiple tabs - that is something that happens not uncommonly, and so I do have Taboo installed. Works great.

I sometimes do accidently Command+Q instead of +W, but OmniWeb DOES remember all open tabs and windows and restores them automatically at the next launch. You can even define workspaces which is very well done!

Yes, it costs money and yes, Safari is free, but I think all the little things the Omnigroup thought of plus all the pro features other brothers don't have, make up for that.

The easiest solution for this is to just use the Keyboard panel to remap Command-Q -- I do this for all programs I don't usually quit. In addition, I also switch Command-L in iChat -- it's "highlight URL bar" in Safari, but "Logout" in iChat.

Before I made this switch, I can't tell you how many times I logged out of iChat when I thought I was going to enter a URL in Safari!

This plagued me soon after the introduction of tabs. I use tabs liberally, often opening links in new tabs, 'flipping' to that tab, then closing it, rather than using the back button. Every once in a while I would hit the quit key by accident.

I found an easy fix -- go to the Keyboard control panel and assign shift-ctrl-command Q to Quit for the Safari application, and it re-assigned the quit button to that more-difficult key combination.
