How to reset the Shut down keyboards shortcut

Post by a-bentofreire »

Hi.

I'm running Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon, and due to an issue during the update 18.2 the power button no longer launches the 'Shut Down' dialog.
To solve this issue, I modified the keyboard shortcut for the Shut Down.
Since now. I'm running 18.3 I would like to be able to associate the Power button to the Shut Down, but when I try to assign the shortcut, it doesn't allows to associate with it, nor allows to reset to the original state.

Any ideas how to solve this issue?
Thank you

What you are looking for is on a different place. Open the power settings. Here ou find on the first page near the bottom the setting about what to do, if the power button gets pressed; it sounds as if you have set it to do nothing; change it to "ask".

Besides that: The default for what you have shown in the picture is: ctrl-alt-end.

On the power settings is 'Ask' as you can see in my attachment, as always been.
And the power button was working correctly with 18.1, it stop working after the upgrade 18.2
After I set this shortcut to Super+E, it shows the correct shutdown dialog using Power+E but I can't put it back to the power button.
So in conclusion:
1. It's not on the power settings
2. Before the update to 18.1 on the shortcuts dialog it shut down pointed to 'Power button'.
3. Now works with Super+E

How, on shortcuts dialog, can I reset the 'Shut down' to 'Power button'?
