alacritty: Ctrl+q not working

Which operating system does the issue occur on? macOS

Ctrl+q is not working unless I add this line to key_bindings:

- { key: Q, mods: Control, chars: "\x11" }

Other Ctrl keys seem working with default key_bindings config.

Same problem for me on maxOS 10.13.6 with Alacritty(master branch b41c6b736d67d61e92b174dfea58ae46813934cd) above v0.2.1

- { key: Q, mods: Control, chars: "\x11" }

solved my problem

{ key: Q, mods: Control, chars: "\x11" } works here 👍

Same problem here after just upgrading to newest version of Alacritty.

Fix was reverted upstream due to other bugs caused by it.

It sends it one Ctrl+Q if I press Ctrl+Q twice in a row (haven’t tested if there’s a timeout).

This is what I get if I only click ctrl+q once.
