In addition to the Gnome Power settings you can set the systemd settings found in /etc/systemd/logind.conf:

My laptop looks like this:

$ cat /etc/systemd/logind.conf

#NAutoVTs=6
#ReserveVT=6
#KillUserProcesses=no
#KillOnlyUsers=
#KillExcludeUsers=root
#InhibitDelayMaxSec=5
#HandlePowerKey=poweroff
#HandleSuspendKey=suspend
#HandleHibernateKey=hibernate
HandleLidSwitch=ignore
#HandleLidSwitchDocked=ignore
#PowerKeyIgnoreInhibited=no
#SuspendKeyIgnoreInhibited=no
#HibernateKeyIgnoreInhibited=no
#LidSwitchIgnoreInhibited=yes
#HoldoffTimeoutSec=30s
#IdleAction=ignore
#IdleActionSec=30min
#RuntimeDirectorySize=10%
#RemoveIPC=yes
#UserTasksMax=12288

Notice on my system the only option I’ve changed is HandleLidswitch. For your system I would override these defaults:

#HandleSuspendKey=suspend
#HandleHibernateKey=hibernate

to this:

HandleSuspendKey=ignore
HandleHibernateKey=ignore

systemd is a little unique in that a line beginning with a hashtag (#) is not only a comment but also represents the default action taken.

Unfortunately I don’t have your keyboard to test this configuration.

NOTE: After saving changes either reboot to activate or use:

sudo systemctl restart systemd-logind.service
