In Safari (and all applications) Command-W & Command-Q are too close to each other. I often hit Command-Q when I meant to hit Command-W, causing Safari to quit without warning. So, I'd like to see a simple dialog pop up before quitting Safari asking, "Do you really want to quit?". Most other apps warn you before quitting an app if you haven't saved, so no big deal. In Safari, I might have a few of windows open with a dozen tabs, and thus I may not have anything to save but a lot of time, which is reason enough for me to pop that box up, unless there are no browser windows open.
Any suggestions?

Remapping the keyboard is always an option but I don't like having to altera standard to solve a simple problem.
All it would take is a simple warning message and the problem would be solved. Given that Command W & Q are pretty standard, it should also be standard to offer a warning with Q.
Abdulla's suggestion for saving the workspace could also solve the problem but is a bigger solution to implement. I do wish that were offered as well, but I suspect that's been at least tossed around, and maybe we'll see it someday.
It would be great if Safari could save the workspace before it quits. So if you run it again, it would load all the previous pages again automatically.
