Work-around committed in d1ab732a81 (yarn-3-comm, 2026-09-28).

The Quit key is the first letter of the translated "Quit" string, but the QWK menu (and several other prompts) use hard-coded English command keys and checked for Quit first. So "Dejar" made 'D' (Download) exit the menu, and "Salir" made 'S' (Select areas) exit it.

Now, when the translated Quit key collides with one of a prompt's command keys, 'Q' is used as the Quit key for that prompt instead. This also applies to the file transfer protocol prompts (stock protocol keys include 'D' and 'S') and the file list prompts. Enter still exits the QWK menu.

This is a work-around, not the final fix: prompts that display the Quit mnemonic (e.g. "Protocol or (D)ejar") still show the translated letter when the fallback applies. Leaving this issue open while a proper solution is worked out.

If you have better Spanish translations for ctrl/text.es.ini, a merge request would be welcome.
