Ubuntu 16.04 suspending from keyboard

I got tired of using the mouse to put the computer into suspend. Wouldn't it be easier to just hit a key on the keyboard?

So I found this webpage that gives you a command to suspend using keyboard shortcuts.

Just go to System settings/keyboard make a new custom shortcut, call it suspend and make the command "systemctl suspend".



I have a dell keyboard with a "music key" that doesn't seem to have any purpose (for me anyway) so I use that.

Works pretty well.
