Elinks uses CTRL-C to close tabs. It's kind of tough to think CTRL-Q closes a
tab to begin with.  Mistake for "close qab" just doesn't sound right to begin
with.

However, if CTRL-C was mapped to quit, aka "close application", well that would
be confusing.  Or if "CTRL-Q" were on a keyboard layout next to the "CTRL-C"


But still, ELinks does ask to quit before quiting.  But this is because I keep
typing ":q" (VIM quit), and 'q' is mapped to quit in ELinks.  (But this is user
error, as I start thinking I'm within VIM at times due to all the console
text.)

So, some good examples when there's no conflict, and some examples where there
is a conflict.  Really, when asking, you're just trying to prevent user error.

However, how would you like a prompt on your vehicle every time you pressed the
brakes?  Do you really want to stop?  Or, how about every time you start your
vehicle and you're within an emergency situation and get, "Do you really want
to start your car?"  With real world applications, security of preventing
accidental quitting is application response to users intentions.

<shrugs> I'm sure this has been debated quite a bit, and with Windows, I get so
many prompts that I become non-productive & frustrated.
