g (gnuplot), r (raise), c (console) cannot be chosen (grid, ruler,
clipboard).

I was going to suggest ctrl-w, but it would actually be more appropriate
as an equivalent for ctrl-q since it usually closes the tab in a browser
or the file (just tried and lost my message in firefox ;).

Why not 'ctrl-i' ? Sounds like 'interactive' or 'interface', and if I
recall correctly it's the key to be pressed to edit in vim.
