Not that I know of, but it is "very widely used":

- https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/OS/KeyboardShortcuts
If documentation exists that specify use of CTL-W to close the application I would reconsider recognizing it as well.
e.g. browsers use it to close tabs, and, as a side-effect, on the last tab, the browser closes too. Hence the maybe.
Note that ALT-F4 also serves to close the application.
"Technically", it's used to close the window in focus. The application closes as a side-effect of not having windows anymore. Apart from https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/OS/KeyboardShortcuts, e.g. Jetbrains IDEs do that, Chrome did that (but Chrome doesn't use the Ctrl+Q shortcut idk why they decided against it - maybe it's too close to Ctrl+1/Ctrl+Tab?), and Sublime does it too

CTL-Q is now closes the application in development branch 0.2.2. Note that it is only recognized in the main window, not in the dialog boxes. This is consistent with what I've observed with applications the recognize CTL-Q. I've not found any documentation/specification for use of CTL-Q. Do you know of any?
While many applications seem to recognize CTL-Q, I only found a handful that recognize CTL-W, so did not implement its recognition. If documentation exists that specify use of CTL-W to close the application I would reconsider recognizing it as well.
Note that ALT-F4 also serves to close the application.
