			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m a devoted Mozilla user, and a heavy user of its tabbed browsing facilities. I have the scroll button on my mouse set up such that clicking a hyperlink with it means &#8220;open in new tab&#8221; &#8211; a feature that I use a <strong>lot</strong> in my daily weblog reading. I end up with an accordion effect, where the number of tabs open grows and grows, and then shrinks as I reach the end of one line of meanderings, growing again as I pursue another avenue.</p>
<p>But, in a move of wonderfully insane design decisions, someone decided that the command to close an individual tab should be Ctrl-w and the command to close the entire browser should be Ctrl-q.</p>
<p>This means that approximately once a week, whilst trying to shut down a single tab, and go to the next in line, I accidentally clip the edge of the &#8216;q&#8217; key in passing, and thus close down the entire browser, losing all record of the 10-20 tabs I probably had open.</p>
<p>This probably wasn&#8217;t even an accidental decision, or a &#8220;well, we only have 2 letters remaining&#8221; approach. Someone probably thought that &#8220;close one&#8221; and &#8220;close all&#8221; were similar enough in nature to put the keys side by side. Both keys are often used in other applications for purposes. It almost makes sense. Except it&#8217;s so completely wrong. And so completely annoying.</p>
