In that case Ctrl should be avoided too, because Ctrl is often used in
KDE & Gnome shortcuts.... See how rediculous this is becoming! As
Mattias said, there is NO easy solution. Lazarus DOES allow you to
redefine shortcuts, so does your OS. So YOU decided what is more
important to you - the OS shortcut or the Lazarus one, then simply
undefine the others.

Lazarus developers under KDE & Gnome have been doing this for years.
The Ctrl+F<n> keys are often used to change virtual desktops, so we
simply disable those in KDE & Gnome, because the Lazarus IDE ones are
more important to us. Don't be lazy.
