How to remap "lock screen" button to suspend

I want to remap "lock screen" button on my keyboard (it is special button, not Win+L combination) to "suspend" instead of "lock"

I tried to prevent screen lock all together in hope the "Settings/Keyboard/Add Custom Shortcut" would detect my "lock screen" button, but it still does not.

When I run xev and press the button, it displays:

KeymapNotify event, serial 38, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
keys: 4294967288 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

Turns out, that if I override shortcut for lock from Super+L to something else and then create custom shortcut with command systemctl suspend and keybinding Super+L, then it somehow applies not only to Super+L but also to dedicated "lock button".
