After your response, and another half hour of troubleshooting, I have learned that: 1. There is no GUI to change the setting. 2. The logind.conf settings have no effect on the media keys. 3. The key is XF86Sleep (and not XF86Suspend). 4. The key is assigned to the 'suspend-static' behavior in dconf-editor / gsettings 5. Changing the assignment in dconf-editor / gsettings requires logging out and back in to take effect And most importantly, 6. It is *not* enough to assign the XF86Sleep button to another action in the keyboard shortcuts. You have to *also* remove it from the 'suspend-static' action, or it will suspend the computer instead of performing the other assigned action. This last bit was the part that was the most frustrating, since everything else I did had no effect. Now that I have unassociated 'XF86Sleep' from the 'suspend-static' action, I can now re-assign it to do other things. Thanks for the sanity check and for setting me on the right path. This isn't a great user experience, but at least it is *possible* to configure things the way I want. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
