Description Tino Calancha 2016-09-07 16:15:57 UTC 
Dear gnome maintainers,

since my latest OS update (today), gnome help is bound to "<super>F1".
I cannot disable this keybinding using the gnome-control-center.
It would be useful to include this binding in the settings menu, so that
users may easily change it.

Thank you.
Tino

I'd like to second this, <super>-F1 is part of my work flow, and while I very much understand wanting default bindings that work on people's laptops for bringing up help, it should be possible to rebind even media keys.

I would be happy to spend some time coding a solution, but before I do that I would like to know if there is already design work in this direction, or if the core developers have preferences in how they would like it designed.

As far as I know, this keybinding is set by apps, not by anything configurable via Keyboard panel.
Comment 3 Tino Calancha 2017-05-10 14:36:46 UTC 
How about reverting the commit adding this change? That is,
commit 147c0b262f242f96fb0b782cd180b8c6e46ffaaf
At least while a better solution is not found.

With current situation <super>-F1 is lost for those people
already assigning this keybinding to some command.
