I would like to remap the lock screen key on my laptop keyboard to <ctrl><alt>l instead of <super>l so that I can can simply lock the screen with it instead of it typing in the letter l when pressed. I have tried mapping the lock function to the button with no success, so I would like to try mapping the button to the lock function but I can't find a way to do that. if it requires modifying something outside of the operating system (such as the bios) I won't do it because I also run windows. Just curious if there is any practical way to do this.

Have you tried:
System settings>Keyboard>shortcuts tab>system>Lock screen.
The default is ctrl+alt+L, click on it, change it to whatever you like, save and exit.

Hi,
try. System Settings > Hardware > Keyboard > Shortcuts and create a "Custom" shortcut.

Thanks Wolfman! I used the command "gnome-screensaver-command --lock" set to trigger on <super>l and it worked perfectly! and madvinegar, thanks for the suggestion but I guess I haven't made it clear enough I have already tried that...
