RGB – #6: Rule Them All... Maybe Not

Is there a configurable delay? I'm currently running Command+Q for this exact same purpose but since I find the delay (even at the lowest minimal setting) to be two long, I only enable it for Chrome.

@vallieres Not currently but it's definitely on the list of features I'd like to add! However, if you'd like to have a dabble with it and reduce the delay manually the app is open-source. https://github.com/steve228uk/QB... This line (and a couple of others) are what specify the delay. Reducing the "4" to say "2" should do it 😊

I finished reading the comments and accidentally pressed Command+Q instead of Command+W to close the tab. Looks like I need it more than I thought... Installing now!

After using this for awhile (an hour-ish) it would be fantastic to have the option to add only specific apps instead of having to exclude all the apps excluding Chrome which is the only app I have an issue with quitting accidently. =)

@billhamway That's definitely on the list! Keep an eye out for an update 😄

Hey Hunters! This was a little project I've been working on over the last week. It was inspired by Chrome's "Warn When Quitting" option which I sorely missed when switching to Safari. You can use QBlocker to protect you from quitting any app or set exclusion rules to ignore things like Tweetbot or Messages that won't be missed if they do quit. Happy blockin' 🚫

My Blend 2.0

I was literally cursing myself and my computer yesterday when I was in a rush and accidentally quit when trying to Command+A. Very timely. Thanks for posting!

Nice utility. The potential for abuse of power when every key can be logged is a little scary ...errr.. a lot scary.

@happygezim Completely agree, which is one of the reasons I open sourced it. IMO Apple need to require all apps that utilise accessibility APIs to be signed. It's also the way things like TextExpander work 😊

Flatten 2.0 for Sketch

I think there is no need to install an app for that. I'm using this method in the image and works great: http://cl.ly/g8m6

@einancunlu I'd say that's great if you're comfortable not using the CMD + Q shortcut but for me it's the sole way I quit apps and I didn't want to give it up. Changing it to a hold to quit just makes it safer but I can still utilise the shortcut.

@steve228uk Yes of course this would be an option for the people who don't use the shortcut, I missed that point. : )

Love this! Should be extra useful for getting used to the new MacBook keyboard.

@alexarena How are you finding the new MacBook? I think the keyboard is the only thing that I worry would take some getting used to.

@steve228uk As evidenced by my need for this app... maybe not so hot 😅In all honesty, it's been quite nice and I'm pretty good with the keyboard, now that it's my primary Mac. Went with the m5 model and unfortunately, it's still slowww.
