Hi Rolf,

  This might work for you: In your terminal go to Edit->Keyboard Shortcuts...

  A panel will come up. To disable a shortcut click on the Shortcut Key
entry for it until it says "New accelerator" and press Backspace. It
should then say "Disabled".

  I hope this works. If you need any more help on this feel free to
contact me directly.
