That's odd, if you're using IGE and set the quit command correctly,
and it has the control-q binding, I thought IGE would map and handle
it for you.

Did you set IgeMainMenu.GlobalKeyHandlerEnabled = true?

Alternatively you could just check for "q" and the "Mod1" modifier flag.

(yes, I don't know why the Meta key results in Mod1 modifier. There's
a bug open against GTK)

It's also possible to install a global key snooper for your
application so it works from all windows.
