Disable Ctrl-Alt-L in KDE

The IntelliJ IDEA short-cut to reformat source code is Ctrl-Alt-L. This happens to lock the screen in KDE (Gnome too?). How can I disable this so IntelliJ receives the key sequence?

  • Under the K menu, go to the Control Center.

    Regional & Accessibility | Keyboard Shortcuts | Shortcut Schemes tab, Global Shortcuts tab.

    In the search box, type "lock", which should narrow the visible shortcuts and show the Ctrl-Alt-L one ("Lock Session").

    Underneath, click None.

    Click the Apply button.

  • I eventually found how to disable the lock screen key binding (Ctrl-Alt-L) in the System Setting app.

    System Settings->"Keyboard Mouse->Keyboard Shortcuts

    I had to choose the KDE component: Run Command Interface.

    I'm running KDE on Fedora Core 9.
