Just today I was wishing that Chrome's Hold-to-Quit functionality was an OS-wide feature. Thank you very much for creating this, it was an instant purchase in my book.

Yep - Chrome is where I got the idea from. It's a great feature I wanted to see made system wide. Looking forward to everyone's feedback.

FWIW all: in Chrome, the setting is in the Chrome menu, not in preferences.

I've been wanting/needing something like this forever. One thing I noticed is that the '30 days' menu item isn't removed until the app is restarted. Maybe you could automatically restart the app after registration?

Will do. Thanks :)

I would have loved to have had this a year ago, or two, etc., but my accidental quits haven't been nearly as frustrating since upgrading to Lion. I can still see this being useful, though, especially with apps that are slow to implement resume functionality.

Seems to suffer the same limitation of Chrome's Hold-to-quit in that it doesn't work while in the application switcher.

"Ever hit ⌘Q and accidentally quit an application when you really meant to press ⌘W and close a window?"

At first I was really puzzled when I read this sentence...Q and W are so far apart on the Dvorak keyboard! ;-)

True, but I actually see that as a "feature". It's the one keyboard way you can quickly quit an app without going through the hold-and-wait. But I'm sure your workflow probably differs from mine. Noted.
