warning signs of something

You know you’re serious about a program when you remap command-Q to something besides ‘quit’.

I did this a while back, and was reminded of it just now when I actually wanted to make Illustrator stop running for the first time in forever – I’d removed some plugins whose trial period had expired, because I was sick of them cluttering up the toolbar, so I had to restart AI. I hit command-Q and I was like “oh yeah that doesn’t work here” and giggled a little. (And yes, my hand just kind of instinctively hits command-Q whenever I want to play with the stuff in Document Setup nowadays. I do it just often enough that the shortcut sunk in.)
