Why the shortkey to close LMMS is very close to the shortkey to save the project (CTRL+Q x CTRL+S)

Why?! I have a mechanical keyboard and it is common to press Q when trying to press S sometimes, could you guys remove the command to close LMMS without any confirmation to save your changes before doing that?

Thanks

Q for quit and s for save isn't really exotic in the computer world. There are some ideas in the issue tracker that would solve this for you. My favourite being no. 1475. An option to assign keys yourself. https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/issues/1475

I'm trying this out in 1.1.3 right now. If I enter notes there is a warning before i quit because the project has changed. You can see this in the top of the screen where the project name is, there is an '*' added to the name which means it's been changed. Unfortunately some actions doesn't have this implemented yet. For instance volume and pan in the song editor and also in the mixer. Basically it works as your request but isn't complete yet. This is known and we're working on it.
