SlowQuitApps

A macOS app that adds a global delay of 1 second to the Cmd-Q shortcut. In other words, you have to hold down Cmd-Q for 1 second before an application will quit.

When the delay is active, an overlay is drawn at the center of the screen.

Why?

A quick search for 'command q' on Google revealed these insights:

"have you ever accidentally hit ?Q and quit an app" "how to disable command-Q" "Command-Q is the worst keyboard shortcut ever" "ever hit Command-Q instead of Command-W and lost all of your open web pages in Safari?" ... and many more similar sentiments.

Some proposed solutions include:

• Remapping Cmd-Q to do something else
• Changing the application quit keyboard short to use another keybinding
• This app implements the same approach as Google Chrome's "Warn Before Quitting" feature, except it is now available on every app!
