In general, to switch between the units in the schematic, we can use the command View » Toggle units in the schematic editor. We can also use the keyboard shortcuts V and U for this command.
But If you want to use "Q" as a shortcut, we can customize the Command. Follow the below steps.
- Go to View Menu » Toolbars » Customize » Click on "All" » Search for "Toggle units" » Enter the value "Q" for the "primary" field » Save.
- Then go to View » Toggle units menu. You should see the "Q" shortcut near the command.
