So my question is, how can I disable these unwanted keyboard shortcuts?
From your description, it sounds like an application is grabbing these keys, and that the application is Gnome itself. I don't use Gnome, but I have seen here people recommending 'Gnome tweak tool' as a way to change Gnome options. It might also be possible to change this in the application itself to something else, say Ctrl+ or WinMenu+. There is a small chance that this is Wayland; I can't advise how to fix that as I am unfamiliar with it, but a search should turn up options.
I have the gnome tweak tool and it does not have an option to control these keyboard shortcuts.
The above assumes that the keys aren't hard coded into the application; that shouldn't be the case these days, but if it is, you would have to download the src.rpm, unpack it using rpmbuild, create a patch to override the encoded default, rebuild the binary rpm, and install it. To prevent it from being replaced on update, you would then have to block updates in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf. Major hassle.
Yes, major hassle. A bit of googling with your hint that it could be Wayland and it does seem to point at Wayland being the problem. No easy fixes though.
Thanks for your suggestions.
