I can't get it to not work anymore. I sort of wish I could break it
again somehow.

For reference, my current keybindings are:
Trigger: F2
On: Ctrl+F3
Off: Ctrl+Shift+F3
Next IM: Ctrl+F2
Previous: Ctrl+Shift+F2
Show menu: F3

How I change input methods:
When I start my system, the floating SCIM bar is not visible. Even though it is 
not visible, I can press Ctrl+F2 to change input methods, and the bar becomes 
visible with the new input method selected. I can do this when gedit has focus, 
when this text box in Firefox has focus, or even when the desktop background 
has focus. I can instead press F2 or Ctrl+F3 to make the bar visible, then 
change input methods with either Ctrl+F2 or Ctrl+Shift+F2. 

I only have English/European, and the first option under Chinese
Simplified enabled (it's a pinyin input method, but I cannot yet read
its name).

我是美国人。我说的不好。

How I change my keybindings:

I display the floating SCIM window by pressing F2. I right click on that
bar and click SCIM setup to enter change my keybindings. I click "Global
Setup" under "FrontEnd". Under "Hotkeys", I click the "..." button next
to "Trigger". I highlight an entry under "Selected Keys" and click the
"Delete" button, alternating until the "Selected Keys" box is empty.  I
click the "..." next to "Key Code". The "Grabbing a Key" popup opens. I
press "F2", and that popup closes. I click "Add". I click "Ok". I click
"Apply". I click "Ok". I click "Ok" on the warning window.

My new keybindings have now taken effect, even without restarting SCIM.

How are you changing your key bindings if you cannot access SCIM?
