This is not a duplicate, though.  103158 is about inconsistent behavior about
keydown vs keyup on this keyboard shortcut.  

107629 is about whether this particular keyboard shortcut should be impossible
to remap.

I don't see any compelling reason why it ought to be impossible to change by
the user.  Certainly being a "standard shortcut" is not a criteria for that, as
it is entirely possible to remap ctrl+C and ctrl+V in libreoffice, which are
far more "standard" and commonly used shortcuts (for instance, they're
respected in notepad, but control+leftshift and control+rightshift are not).

What makes control+shift deserve immunity from remapping?

I can understand if it would be difficult (and thus, lower priority), but the
control+shift combination can already be enabled and disabled in-program.  The
way to enable or to disable the hotkey is by going through
"Tools->Options->Language Settings->Languages->Default Languages for Documents,
then unchecking a box labelled Complex Text Layout (CTL).

It's *really* bad UI, because there's no indication whatsoever in the program
itself that this hotkey exists, or is toggled through that series of actions. 
At the bare minimum the key combination should be consistently documented
together with the other ones on the list of hotkeys, not buried in
https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Languages_Using_Complex_Text_Layout .
