I'm not sure how it's all wired at the hardware level, but the Linux<br>
userspace sees a regular key event.<br>
<br>
I've always mapped it to lock screen.<br>

Sure. How, specifically, depends on your desktop environment. I use<br>
GNOME so I'd do it from gnome-control-center -> Keyboard shortcuts.<br>
If you want a custom action ("erase some files", I'm not sure how \
you'd<br> erase "memory"), you can create a custom shortcut that runs a \
shell<br> script that can do whatever you want.<br>
<br>
