No keyboard screenlock capability when using an external keyboard

Reported by mur...@suriar.com, Jul 17 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS x86_64 9334.72.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.140 Safari/537.36
Platform: Platform	9334.72.0 (Official Build) stable-channel samus

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Dock a Chromebook and close the lid, or use a Chromebox.
2. Attempt to lock the screen using a keyboard shortcut

What is the expected behavior?
It should be possible to lock a Chromebox or Chromebook using a keyboard shortcut, even if the user does not have a Search key on their current keyboard.

What went wrong?
I'm unable to lock screen with a keyboard shortcut when using an external keyboard. I have to resort to using a mouse.

Did this work before? Yes Unknown; can't remember exactly what version Ctrl+Shift+L was removed.

If your keyboard has a meta key (windows key) of some sort that will usually work as the search key.  There are known issues with apple keyboards.

Sure, but Meta/Windows has very limited utility; looking at the shortcut overlay, the only Meta key combination I would use is "Lock Screen". Burning a modifier key for the sole purpose of enabling screen lock when docked seems like a waste.
