How do I get rid of Ubuntu shortcuts in Unity 13.10 (Intellij...)

Question

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!

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.

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.

the left Alt is now disabled with the method you suggested looks like indeed it did some change but `Alt+F1` still toggles highlighting of top left unity button :/ – Jas Jan 13 '14 at 17:10
after 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 Jan 15 '14 at 14:09
