Description Daniel Preston 2013-09-11 05:15:45 UTC 
I wanted to reassign the FN + F2 (Screensaver) keyboard shortcut to use a custom shortcut with it. I got the warning that this will disable the default keyboard shortcut to lock the screen. I confirmed this message.

However, my custom command is not executed when pressing FN + F2. Instead nothing happens.

Here are my settings: http://i.stack.imgur.com/HScRg.png

When I use the custom command with another free shortcut (such as ALT + L), I can successfully execute the command.

Making such keys available for custom shortcuts isn't planned or desired. The bug you're seeing about the lack of warning is discussed in bug 670579.

Thanks for taking the time to report this.
