I would assume because the GNOME people would like consistency across the platform (that's what led to this discussion) and people feel it would be annoying to put in extra keystrokes to shift more interactive editors and other programs into a viewing mode where 'Q' would quit them. Having 'Q' for some programs and 'CTRL-Q' for others would be annoying, as this thread has shown. John Thacker
