"ctrl-shift-q has a confirmation dialog, but ctrl-shift-w does not and can be easily triggered for example if you aim badly when doing ctrl-a (a common key combo in bash and console programs) and also depress the keys above ctrl and a, resulting in a ctrl-shift-q or ctrl-shift-w, the latter of which will instantly close your window, causing interruption of workflow and sometimes loss of work.

Both shortcuts can be disabled thankfully, but I wonder if these shortcut keys ought to be left off by default or remapped."

Thanks you,

This will be fixed by bug 168320, by asking confirmation if there's a running process in the terminal. If the keyboard shortcut is inconvenient, the user can just change it in the keybindings editor.
