Disable keyboar shortcut ctrl+q

Hi,
The rigth ctrl key in my keyboard is near the ‘alt gr’ key, and as for / I have to touch ‘alt gr’ together with Q, the window I am working in is frequently closed as I am rather ‘thumby’ and touch ctrl instead.
In Control Center > keyboard shortcuts ‘Close Window’ is ctrl+f4 (and it is working).
How disable ctrl+Q?
Thanks,
Geraldo

You probably won’t be able to as it is generic to the way most programs that open a window operate. A lot (if not all) close with ctrl+q

I think ctrl-Q is something each application responds to, so you’d have to change it in each application.

Thank you all. Will try to find how to do it, at least in Firefox.

Try a addon

There are others.

How's this? Add a meaningless keyboard shortcut. Something like this...

Then assign it to Ctrl+Q, of course.

Works on 16.04 w/MATE 1.16 - just tried it. I thought the app might have priority but it doesn't.
