Confirm to Quit Google Chrome

There are times when you hold Command+Q when you actually wanted to hold Command+W and all your tabs are gone and its really frustrating because Chrome doesn't ask you for a confirmation. Luckily Chrome has finally added this feature but you need to enable it first.

You can enable this feature by:

Going to about:flags.
Looking for 'Confirm to Quit' then click 'Enable.'
Then restart Chrome.

Now when you hold Command+Q you will get a bubble message that says 'Hold Command+Q to Quit.' Hold Command+Q again and Chrome will quit.

This feature doesn't apply if you click on 'Quit Google Chrome' from the menu bar.

This was tested on Chrome version 10.0.648.151.

[crarko adds: I tested this, and it works as described. Same version of Chrome as the author.]
