Now I make sure to remap Ctrl-Q to something else (usually Save As) I learned my lesson the second week I was employed in this industry – Ctrl-Q instead of Ctrl-S and blindly clicking the confirm box at 3 am meant an extra six hours of layout time and an unhappy printer.

One example of this: I was working on a document for a long time and hadn't saved. At one stage, I opened and closed a lot of other documents to search for something. One of the "documents" I opened was actually a library file, and without thinking I hat apple-W to close it, clicking "Don't save" on the dialogue that popped up. Obviously, since you don't close libraries with apple W, this closed the document I was working on. A stupid thing to do, but these mistakes can be made in haste.
