I did a search in game.prefs file and found both the ctrl-k and ctrl-alt-y in there. I removed the line that said ['Ctrl-K'] = 'suicide', and saved the changes. Thankfully that file is mostly human-readable.

Can you post how you fixed it so others can potentially find a solution here?

I found it and got it fixed. However, i seem to recall that it was working(i was, not blowing up randomly) before. It would mean that gaz did in fact remove the default hotkey.

I don't think gaz_ui removes existing keymappings, just adds new ones. I *think* ctrl+k will still work even though you remapped an additional keybinding to it. The game.prefs is a bit of a mess to decipher but I believe you can manually remove it if you can work out where it is.

Remapping keys broken by accident?

I like to use the ctrl+l hotkey a lot, but it was dangerous since ctrl+k is too close. So i got gaz_ui and remapped the self-destruct to ctrl+alt+y, which is much harder to press by accident. This setup worked fine until today when my acu suddenly blew up in ladder. I had already won the game. When i look at the gaz_ui's settings, it still says that the hotkey for self-destruct is ctrl+alt+y, but it also says that ctrl+k "is already mapped to another action..." even though it's nowhere on the list. game.prefs file (it's where the keybindings are stored) lists both key combinations for suicide, but i'm certain that i didn't add that ctrl+k back in there.
