Comment(by Quozl):

 Pressing power button twice, or using the Shutdown menu item also shuts
 down and powers off an XO even if a user is in the middle of using an
 activity, so I don't see why the Alt-Shift-Q shortcut should be any
 different.

 Pressing power button twice, or using the Shutdown menu item, is also
 something that may be stumbled upon by accident.  We call that
 discoverable.

 Alt-Shift-Q also works like this in 10.1.3.

 It is defined in
 [http://git.sugarlabs.org/sugar/mainline/blobs/master/src/jarabe/view/keyhandler.py
 sugar.git/src/jarabe/view/keyhandler.py] with a comment that ''the
 following are intended for emulator users''.  (Though I don't see why open
 search or say text are thus described, but patching that would take
 hours).

 I think it is important that teachers who use emulators, and therefore may
 use Alt-Shift-Q, have a consistent experience when using an XO.

 However, Alt-Shift-Q gives no immediate feedback ... on a unit with slow
 microSD, it can take several seconds before Sugar shows any sign of being
 shutdown.
