Why remove the "Q"?

It looks ugly.  And why would the user want to hold Shift before pressing q,
when just pressing q will do?  Holding Shift has no extra effect.

If the user has CapsLock activated, they will simply press the q key, and
expect it to work -- and it will work, like they know from other tools.
No need to explicitly mention this, because it makes it seem as if it is
something special.
