There are many easier ways to hurt oneself or lose data than this way. In fact, I do not want to perform a quadruple bucky to reset my X server. The Emacs users who have similar keyboard shortcuts can be assumed competent enough for the sake of discussion to understand the consequences of what they are doing.
