Description

Even set at hitting the button twice is not good. I lost all my game progress and have to start over. I much rather see an actual confirmation dialogue: Are you sure you wish to quit? Yes, No
And please default to: No.
Also an option in settings to enable or disable this feature would be good, so other people can decide if they wish to have it or not.

Research direction

The issue requests a confirmation dialogue for the quit button, defaulting to No, plus a setting to enable or disable it. Start by locating the quit-button handling and settings entry points; done means the dialogue appears as requested and the setting controls whether it is enabled.
