Absinthe: bbqinstaller has stolen Ctrl+I keybind

Hi. I have just switched from Bakewell to Absinthe, and I love it so far. I just have one embarrassingly small problem.. Whenever I press Ctrl+I to write in italics (which I do a lot) - no italics, but the bbqinstaller pops up. The keyboard shortcut is not listed in the Xfce4 settings editor, and I don't know where else to look. I have, of course, sought far and wide for a solution on the internets.

xkeybinds is normally a fav, not sure with absinthe.
in ~/.xkeybinds
should be the config for the binding.

The file is called ~/.xbindkeysrc

Simply remove the lines
"x-terminal-emulator -e sudo bbqinstaller"
Control + i

^ unfortunately I couldn't check on mint linux...it has spoilt me 8(
no .xbindkeysrc, no .bashrc, no .xinitrc!
shocking lack of dotfiles...

Sorry for the late response.. I had a deadline and completely forgot this

.xbinkeysrc is of course the solution. As i said.. an embarrasingly small problem.. where have my google skills gone?
