This problem is no better on 20.04. -> In the Keyboard Shortcuts dialogue, no function is assigned to the "Search" key. -> There is a custom keyboard shortcut assigned to Ctrl-Search. It works fine. -> When I try to set a custom shortcut to the Search key, instead, the desktop pops into zoomed-out-view-all-my-windows view whenever I press the Search key, even though I have clicked "Set Shortcut" and the key should be trapped
-> Moreover, even if I set the key with the command gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys.custom- keybinding:/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom- keybindings/custom8/ binding 'Search' It now shows up correctly in the dialogue listing shortcuts, but the action of the key is unchanged: it still just displays the Super-key overview view rather than carrying out my custom shortcut function The "Search" key corresponds to pressing the F10 key, without the Fn modifier, on this Lenovo T450s, running 20.04. Please help me disable this behaviour that seems hard-wired to this key! This is a regression since 19.10, as mentioned before. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1861025 Title: Keyboard shortcut "Search" shows as disabled, yet it still works, and custom shortcut unable to use the Search key Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Prior to the last upgrade (19.10), I used the Search key for one of my custom keyboard shortcuts. (I am using a Lenovo T450s, so the Search key is the button which works as F10 when the Fn key is also pressed.) In 19.10, this is no longer possible. The Search key is initially set up with the Search function, ie opens a magnifying glass text entry box to look for things. If I disable that function in the Keyboard dialogue, it still works! And therefore I cannot use the key as I wish.
