Not on my keyboard. On my keyboard, M and W are as close as Q and W on
yours.

No, [Q]uit and [W]indow make some kind of sense, and I'm not affected by
their short interdistance on QWERTY keyboards. I still don't quite
like [Z]undo, [X]ut, [C]opy and [V]aste. Only the C makes sense. Yes,
they're chosen because of their key positions. This is the greatest
thing wrong with them. Cut something, and when pasting hit C instead of
V. Gone is your cut text.
