Title:
gnome-control-center keyboard shortcuts does not manage keyboard power
button keybindings properly
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
My keyboard has a "sleep" button on it. I wish to reassign it to open
a terminal rather than shut down my computer. To do so, I click on
gnome-control-center -> keyboard -> shortcuts -> launchers -> Launch
Terminal, then I press the "sleep" button on my keyboard. The "sleep"
button appears to be properly assigned to run the terminal command.
However, when I press the "sleep" button now, I would expect it to
launch a terminal. Instead it puts the computer to sleep.
Digging further, it appears that the power buttons on the computer (including
those on the keyboard) are controlled by the following dconf settings:
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power button-hibernate
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power button-power
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power button-sleep
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power button-suspend
If I use dconf-editor to set these values to 'nothing', then the
"sleep" button on my keyboard opens the terminal as expected. The
gnome-control-center keyboard shortcuts GUI does not disable the power
settings for this button automatically for me.
The gnome-control-center keyboard shortcuts GUI should know about and
manage the org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power button settings.
It should allow the buttons to be re-assigned like other keyboard
buttons.
