Quickie for mint16/17 using Xfce. You may have found the ctrl-Fn keys have been mapped to change the workspace you are on? This behaviour is highly annoying as applications often define ctrl-Fn to do something.
Do not try to fix it from the graphic configuration window. It does not work.
Instead, as root, open this file in a text editor:
/etc/xdg/xdg-default/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml
(Because or links there are about three or four files pointing to this file; it doesn’t matter which one you edit.)
Look for lines like:
<property name="<Control>F5" type="string" value="..."/>
Then delete all those lines, there are 12 in total, from F1 to F12. (In my case they were not in a block, so you had to hunt around to catch all twelve.)
Then you need to logout of your desktop, and log back in again for the change to take effect.
