I don't know whether it is appropriate to add comments to an old thread,
but since it is still open   ?I guess it is OK?

I encountered this when customizing keyboard shortcuts in gnome-
terminal.  There was no obvious way to remove one once it is in place.
I remembered seeing something like this in the main system settings >
keyboard > shortcuts UI, so I went there and found that `backspace` will
clear the shortcut.  It says so right on that UI.  So why isn't this
simply added as a label to the gnome-terminal shortcut UI?  Seems like
precendence and simplicity would both win here, as well as any newcomer
trying to configure the shortcuts and getting frustrated when they can't
simply clear any!

Thanks!

Title:
  No mention of howto disable keyboard shortcuts in help

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

  When going into Keyboard Shortcuts in gnome-terminal, there is no
  clear indication on how a user can disable a keyboard shortcut.  The
  interface does not currently suggest a way for the user to know that
  double click the shortcut key area and then hitting backspace will
  disable that shortcut.  The help file has no mention of this
  functionality as well.
