Look for the file ‘accels.scm’ in your home directory. Mine is:

    ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/xfce4/terminal/accels.scm

and within that configuration change the line:

    (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/set-title" "<Super>s")

to what ever you need.

Note, to completely remove/deactivate the shortcut, commenting the line 
doesn’t work because it falls back to the default ‘<Primary><Shift>s’. 
You have to set:

    (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/set-title" "")

means no shortcut at all. After editing that file and a re-login you 
should be done.

BTW and in the case you remove the ‘Set Title’ shortcut, setting the 
title can be achieved in various ways:

    `xfce4-terminal --drop-down -T 'my new title'`

or in a running terminal by using escape control sequences [1]:

    `echo -ne '\033]2;my new title\007'`

or

    `printf '\e]0;%s\007' 'my new title'`
