How to assign a shortcut key to send my system into hibernation?
I want to assign a shortcut key for the Hibernate functionality. I have Fn + F11 for hibernation in Windows, but it's not working on Ubuntu. It's getting in sleep mode instead.
I've also tired changing the keyboard shortcut option as Ctrl + H with command pm-hibernate, but still it didn't work. I referred this Ubuntu Forums Thread but couldn't find any solution for this.
Any solution please?

Firstly, Hibernate will need to be enabled. Go into console and type
sudo gedit /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/hibernate.pkla
In the new gedit window, copy-paste this in:
[Re-enable Hibernate]
Identity=unix-user:*
Action=org.freedesktop.upower.hibernate
ResultActive=yes
Save and close the file, reboot the computer, and then you have it available as a menu option. Assuming you're on a laptop, the fn + F11 shortcut should work afterwards as well, if this is a default option that came with the laptop (i.e. printed on the keyboard, etc.).

Thanks for the answer. I already have hibernate setup as menu, as you did in your steps.I am able to select Hibernate from drop down menu. But I am unable to assign any shortcut key for Hibernate. Is there any way that I can assign shortcut key to hibernate. Any customization?.
