You don't need to build separately. The standalone builder essentially 
does that anyway, it builds for each OS sequentially. I'm not sure what 
the problem would be with Control-Q, if you have the menu shortcut set 
up it should respond as you'd expect. Your menu line entry should be 
something like this:

&Quit/Q

Though Windows users generally expect it to say "Exit" instead. I 
usually swap out the last line according to the OS either when the app 
starts up or on a mousedown in the menu group.

How menus work, with special character designations at the bottom of the 
page:

I've never tried to do that, but maybe someone else has.
