As far as I understand this is not distribution based issue, but something that happens with newer GTK versions, and thus all newer Ubuntu releases after 20.04. So whenever I have a toolbar in an app (LibreOffice, Terminal etc.) ALT + F for example selects the Files tab. Like so:Like so

This however overrides any application specific shortcuts like CTRL + ALT + F (insert footnote). I don't use these mnemonic shortcuts so I would be better off with them just disabled. So how should I achieve that? Ubuntu shortcut options did not have these listed.

Mnemonics are not defined at the level of the desktop. They are defined at the level of the application. These, therefore, would need to be disable per application. In a majority of cases, this is not user configurable, and would need to be changed in the source code.

So for for your problem Y, i.e., how to disable the menu hotkeys.

In as far of your real problem X, i.e., where your custom shortcut Ctrl+Alt+F to insert a footnote does not work and instead behaves as if you pressed Alt+F, this is a bug reported for the 7.3.1.3 release. As you did not specify the version of Ubuntu you use, nor the version, it can be assumed that you run an affected version. The issue was resolved in the 7.3.3 build.
