In ThinkPad X1 Yoga, when I press the Fn+F9 key combination, the Settings application is launched.
Is this a GNOME application?

If yes, is it possible to launch some other application instead of the Settings application when Fn+F9 is pressed and how can we achieve it?

Looking at the symbol on keyboard there is settings icon on it.. which is may be resulting in opening the system settings..

you can get the keycode of this particular behaving with below command

xmodmap -pke | grep XF86Tools

Once you got the result with keycode.. you can assign your functions to it with xmodmap

for example if the keycode is 191

make the keycode to do nothing when pressed with below command

xmodmap -e "keycode 191 = "

then with xbindkeys tool you can bind the command gnome-control-center keyboard for this key press Fn+F9 like below

"gnome-control-center keyboard"
m:0x0 + c:179
