Try:
map Q :wq!^VRETURN

  RETURN represents your enter key, be it marked newline, enter, return,
or whatever. ^V represents control-V.

  Note this could be a dangerous macro to have set up.

  Note also that if you re-map Q to do this, you can't use Q to do what
it normally does (go into ed-mode) without first unmapping Q.
