you joke but they did just close out the initial implementation of a something like 27 year old bug. about:keyboard was recently added to nightly to allow you to change or clear the built in keyboard shortcuts of a bunch of menu items like save, back, refresh, or open dev tools or whatever.
You can also tell Firefox to ignore it completely:
browser.quitShortcut.disabled
As well as to warn:
browser.warnOnQuit
browser.warnOnQuitShortcut
Well, apparently I once was aware of these because I have it set in my custom user.js. But I guess ctrl-q will always be lock screen for me, old habits die hard.
I don’t know if the above is still the default, but I have this in my gnome setup scripts anyway:
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys screensaver “[‘<Control>q’]”
(IIRC it’s a terminal command because trying to bind ctrl-q in Settings will quit the Settings window. And you can’t unbind ctrl-q completely, so you have to bind it to something else. You could maybe add it as a custom launcher that just runs /bin/true.)
I installed this extension 5 minutes ago and it's already such an improvement. Never occured to me that there can be extensions to override shortcut defaults.
