Customize Shortcuts
Open Settings, then choose Shortcuts. Each command has a shortcut field plus Listen, Clear, and Reset controls.

Click Clear to disable a command shortcut. A disabled shortcut shows as Disabled and is removed from the app menu accelerator. Click Reset to restore one command, or Reset All to restore every default shortcut.
Conflicts
Terminay warns when two commands use the same shortcut, for example Also used by new terminal. Conflicts are allowed, but they can make a shortcut run a different command than expected, so use unique key combinations for commands you rely on.
Command Bar
Open the Command Bar with Cmd/Ctrl+L. It searches built-in commands and macros, and shows each command's current shortcut beside the result. Updated or disabled shortcuts are reflected there.
