It is not cross plataform, Mac is Command Q (they left Control for
console and also cos it is weird placed, in opinion of heavy control
users). Blender is not QKEY, it is QKEY or any combination with q
(anybody cared to test it?), then click or Enter.

While those other plataforms are C-q and "opps" it disappeared or "do
you want to quit?" or some weirder phrase then aim at the button,
which could even have rare names like "Yes" (different meaning is the
question is "unsaved files, save?").

So, ohh well, lets disable plain Q so shaky fingers are happy... :P
