SCNR...
Perhaps some tool called, say lazset*), could be created and used to
set/change key shortcuts, e.g.:

lazset --primary-config-path=c:\example\whatever
--set="ContextSensitiveHelpKey=ShiftF1"

or e.g.
lazset --primary-config-path=c:\example\whatever
--set="ContextSensitiveHelpKey="
or
lazset --primary-config-path=c:\example\whatever
--delete="ContextSensitiveHelpKey"

... which would use the existing IDE code (same way lazbuild does) and
that could be automated in e.g. a batch file or even an installer (e.g.
only called when KDE is detected/selected).

A school, company, organization or user could maintain scripts that
change these settings after each new install/upgrade, these scripts
could be made available in the CCR or Lazarus repository, on the forum,
etc...

*) Yes, the same as my suggestion in Martin's IDE language thread
