having the same results on cyan.
It looks like it's bound to the "coffee" key, which doesn't actually do anything in most DEs.

I think "coffee" used work some time ago. Idk why it doesn't stop working. As an alternative, using M-l works to bind a key to Super+L, which is the shortcut for locking on most DEs. Setting sleep = M-l makes the lock key work on jinlon with GNOME.

It works OOTB for me in KDE.

[OtterCodes101]

It would be nice to have it so you can choose the functionality of the lock key in the installer, sort of like how you can invert the fn key functions.

[WeirdTreeThing]

Well then how would I handle other keys like the overview key which also does nothing in gnome.

[OtterCodes101]

maybe detect the DE you're using idk

Btw it (evtest KEY_SCALE) doesn't seem to do anything in KDE either. I would rank it as the most useless key on any Chromebook. There is probably a better use for it that it can be remapped to, idk though.

Also, the DE doesn't need to be detected. Super+L shortcut is the default for locking in GNOME too.

@OtterCodes101 what would be the options for the functionality of the lock key? I can think of

• Lock
• Delete
• Sleep (not sure if anyone would use this option)

[WeirdTreeThing]

Oh right. So in plasma 5 scale would open the window overview menu but in plasma 6 they got rid of that shortcut for some reason. I just manually added it back.

[ChocolateLoverRaj]

Maybe we should request KDE Plasma to reimplement that shortcut by default and request GNOME to have coffee as a shortcut for lock by default.
