Fn+F2 should be bound to "Lock screen" on ThinkPads
Last modified: 2013-01-09 23:29:32 EST
Description of problem: On ThinkPads "Fn+F2" key combination should be bound to "Lock screen" in gnome keyboard shortcuts. Additional info: It works as expected on Ubuntu 7.10
Please check out http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/quirk/ to help us come up with the correct fix for this.
"Fn+F2" quirk has already been added to hal-info. Its code is 0x92. Now it needs to be bound to "Lock screen" in gnome keyboard shortcuts.
One thing that's tricky here is that gnome-settings-daemon only lets you bind one keypress to an action rather than multiple (as it'd be good to leave ctrl+alt+l working for laptops which don't have a screenlock button) I guess it could be sort of worked around by having multiple lock screen entries although that's kind of a kludge.
gnome-settings-daemon isn't in gnome-session. The easy fix is to add a bunch of static keys to gnome-settings-daemon, as should be done for the "default" XF86 keys.
Gnome supports multiple keybindings for the same action. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164831
(In reply to comment #5) > Gnome supports multiple keybindings for the same action. > http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164831 It doesn't, metacity actions do (FYI, I wrote the multimedia keys code in the control-center).
