The triggers you need to look at are:
KEY-OTHERS - Affects all built-in keys not otherwise defined, and
KEY-EXIT - This is the CONTROL-Q you asked about.
A word of warning: You need to use caution when writting a KEY-OTHERS trigger. As far as preventing your customer from exiting a query, you could use the KEY-EXIT with some PL/SQL. You don't want to simply disable KEY-EXIT, otherwise your customer won't be able to exit the form. Something like this should work:
IF :System.Mode != 'ENTER-QUERY' THEN
exit;
END IF;
