'z' is already used, and the <shift> and <z> keys are adjacent on
Murrrcan keyboards, so you can easily just quit out of the editor in
almost a single hand-action.

I never liked ":wq", because you gotta do

        depress <shift>
        <:>
        release <shift>
        <w>
        <q>
        <enter>

instead of the nice, simple, easy bang-bang of

        depress <shift>
        <Z><Z>

and you're out.  Releasing the <shift> key doesn't even count.  :D

Even ':' requires either 2 hands, or a weirdly-contorted 1-handed op.
