Description

Description of the problem or steps to reproduce

When I tried to run the freshly installed editor I got this issue. At first, I thought I didn't know how to properly quit. Though after a few hours of coding and reading the built-in help text, I realized it's probably the default key binding. I read that F4 and F10 also do that action and they are working as usual.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Ctrl+q behavior in micro 2.0.10 on the reported Windows 10, cmd.exe, and WSL 2 setup, then use the built-in help text to inspect the Ctrl+q, F4, and F10 bindings. Done means Ctrl+q performs the quit action consistently with the other quit bindings instead of commenting the current line.
