I want to change Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) shortcuts. For example, I want to get rid of Alt+F1. Well, I tried everything.
The last thing I tried was ccsm and removed any reference to Alt+F1. However, still when I click Alt+F1 it opens the search bar.
I also tried gconf-editor, looked for any reference of that keyboard shortcut, and removed it, but nothing helps!

Alt Left is associated to the search bar, so you trigger it when doing Alt L.+F1
That's the shortcut you want to change/remove through Ubuntu's system settings/keyboard/Shortcut window.

In Ubuntu 12.04, I had to open the CompizConfig Settings Manager (CSSM), go to the Ubuntu Unity Plugin, the Behaviour tab and deactivate the Key to put keyboard-focus on launcher which was predefined as Alt-F1.

just disabled via ccsm "Key to give keyboard-focus to the laucher" but it still activates it :( – Jas – 2014-01-13T17:08:16.197
Sorry, I have no 13.10 to try it on. This works for my 12.04. – nickie – 2014-01-13T22:45:56.393
the left <kbd>Alt</kbd> is now disabled with the method you suggested looks like indeed it did some change but
Alt+F1still toggles highlighting of top left unity button :/ – Jas – 2014-01-13T17:10:29.020after one day things look better (although I logged out previously) maybe a restart to my ubuntu helped for keys to catch on now ALT does not start ubuntu menu. – Jas – 2014-01-15T14:09:30.570
