Consider a saner (or safer, depending on your view) default for the "quit" binding.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. super+wasd is very close to super+q.
Describe the solution you'd like Consider a default "quit" binding that's not next to two of the four most used keys.
Describe alternatives you've considered I've rebound quit to super+backspace. It's a very intentional action now, so I don't think I'll be quitting my X4: Foundations station planner browser window halfway through planning a new station in the future. I don't know if super+backspace is the right choice, but it works for me for now.
I've moved the "toggle material shell" binding to super+enter since it's similar to everyone's familiar fullscreening friend, alt+enter. I then moved the "quit' binding to super+escape. These might be more logical default bindings, as super+enter fits existing patterns (alt+enter speaks to the application to get fullscreen, super+enter speaks to the user shell to get fullscreen, see?), and super+escape does exactly what the keybind says - it super escapes!
Super+esc not comfortable to do with one hand on many Keyboards. I think super+q is fine and it is quite standard among tiling wms.
Personally I use super+x. Easy to use and remember, but not likely to happen by accident.

This makes me wonder where your super key is. Is it bottom-left or bottom-right?
I'd suggest changing your binding to; super + shift + q, that way its a conscious decision and can still be with one hand.
I mean, I can super-escape with one hand. Left thumb on super, middle or index finger on escape.
Super+Q is very common imo. Or at least some variation of it (e.g. macOS uses cmd+q for quitting, many applications listen to ctrl+q).
What about Super+Shift+Q?
I have no objections if that's something that'll work for everyone else as a default. I just don't wanna close a window by accident again :D
That is also a conventional, known good keybinding. Personally I would prefer two-key binding, but it is not a major issue.
