Change keyboard shortcuts in Cinnamon does not work

Changing a keyboard shortcut does in cinnamon settings menu does not work. I've got two shortcuts (from default configuration) Alt+F7 and Alt+F8 which I'd like to remove.

Removing them in the System settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Windows (where they are) does not seem to work.

Any help/ideas? Perhaps changing them manually in the conf files, where should I look?

I've managed to get this to work by overwriting the same actions over and over with different key shortcuts until finally setting an empty key shortcut worked. So I guess its more of a bug in cinnamon than a question. If anyone wants to debug - use Super+L key combination to start cinnamon debugger. - Chris Mejka
This worked for me in Linux Mint 17.2, I've opened an issue github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/4777 - Henrik Lindgren

I tried many options but only one worked under Cinnamon. Run applet keyboard and go to shortcuts/windows/positioniong and select "Move window". Instead of deleting this shortcut just assign a new one, alt-f3 for example. It works fine for me, in opposition deleting shortcut does not work.

It looks that this was in fact a bug in Cinnamon. It looks like it's closed: https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/4777

Closing the question. Thanks @henrik-lindgren
