Intel 8260 on Ubuntu 16.04.3, airplane key on clevo N240JU computer does not work. How to fix it?

[JAwai]

Hello,

We have the Intel wireless 8260 Chipset connected on the m.2 internal connector of a Clevo N240JU computer. The airplane key is mapped on the [FN]+[F11] key. On Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS it does something strange : the key only cut the bluetooth but does not cut the wifi. Is there a trick I have to do?

Best regards.

Jean Tinguely Awais.

Hello Jean,

We understand you're having issues with your laptop's airplane mode key only disabling Bluetooth* on Ubuntu*.

Since our wireless adapter's work in Linux* using the open source drivers embedded in your kernel, and key mapping is an OS function, our best recommendation will be to engage the https://www.ubuntu.com/support/community-support Ubuntu* Support Community for assistance with this problem.

Looking into this, we found the following thread which suggests using dconf-editor to change or setup the hotkey binding:

The Ubuntu* Wiki also explains how to customize key bindings using the Gnome Control Center*:
