How to disable certain keyboard shortcuts?

[Mauser]

I rarely use keyboard shortcuts but sometimes I do like when I use xkill. The problem I have been having is because of my large fingers sometimes keys get hit that I didn't intend to hit. The most annoying one is the panel vanishes and I hit F11 to make it come back. Is there a way to disable certain shortcuts without disabling keys that are needed for other tasks? I have looked in Settings > Keyboard > Application Shortcuts but I couldn't find anything that would disable the key that causes the vanishing panel. I added the results of Quick System Info in case it's needed.

The only suspect is F11 again.. First F11 by accident, panel disappears, then F11 consciously , it comes back.

There seems to be no other candidate (also in default settings) to hide the panel.

F11 is used in many apps for "full screen mode". Its probably in-app, not in Xfce.

xfwm is configured for full screen with alt+f11 for full screen mode for apps as well. that can be found in the Window Manager->Keyboard

Does that mean it can't be disabled? It seems to be F11 is being hit inadvertently. Is there a way to to disable the F11 key?

You can edit the "Toggle Full Screen" (change any of the keys: just Alt or just F11 or both) (or even delete the whole entry) in "Window Manager" => "Keyboard" tab.
