Hotkey for suspend?

Hi, I was wondering if there is an option to hotkey the suspend feature for the xfce desktop version. I set it in the battery settings to suspend when I close the lid on my laptop but it is not doing that, and clicking 2 buttons to suspend is kinda annoying. I was wondering if I could hotkey suspend so that way its 1 fluid motion.

In Xfce, you can add keyboard shortcuts in the settings menu - keyboard - keyboard shortcuts. Simply assign the command systemctl suspend to whichever key combination you want.
