This problem is no better on 20.04.

 -> In the Keyboard Shortcuts dialogue, no function is assigned to the "Search" key.
 -> There is a custom keyboard shortcut assigned to Ctrl-Search. It works fine.
 -> When I try to set a custom shortcut to the Search key, instead, the desktop pops into zoomed-out-view-all-my-windows view whenever I press the Search key, even though I have clicked "Set Shortcut" and the key should be trapped

 -> Moreover, even if I set the key with the command

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys.custom-keybinding:/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom8/ binding 'Search'

It now shows up correctly in the dialogue listing shortcuts, but the action of the key is unchanged: it still just displays the Super-key overview view rather than carrying out my custom shortcut function

The "Search" key corresponds to pressing the F10 key, without the Fn modifier, on this Lenovo T450s, running 20.04.

Please help me disable this behaviour that seems hard-wired to this key!
This is a regression since 19.10, as mentioned before.
