In previous version of GNOME there was a window with very wide choose of available hotkeys for layout change. I talk about "Keyboard Layout Options" window, which is in gnome-control-center keyboard (select tab "Typing", click on link "Layout Settings" in left bottom corner of window, press the "Options" button in the bottom right corner of window, window "Keyboard Layout Options" is opened). This window allows user to set many options. It allows to set the following: * Adding currency signs to certain keys * Adding Esperanto circumflexes (supersigno) * Alt/Win key behavior * Caps Lock key behavior * Compose key position * Ctrl key position * Japanese keyboard options * Key sequence to kill the X server * Key(s) to change layout * Key to choose 3rd level * Key to choose 5th level * Miscellaneous compatibility options * Numeric keypad delete key behavior * Numeric keypad layout selection * Use keyboard LED to show alternative layout * Using space key to input non-breakable space character In Fedora 20 beta with gnome-control-center 3.10.2 this setup window is missed. So user will be unable to adjust many keyboard layout parameters. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open gnome-control-center keyboard from terminal or from menus. 2. Try to find advanced settings window ("Keyboard Layout Options" as in previous versions of GNOME) Actual Results: User is unable to setup keyboard layout options as it was done before. Expected Results: User is able to setup keyboard layout options as it was done in GNOME 3.4 and 2.2x-2.3x. The problem comes from upstream. GNOME Developers suggest to use gnome-tweak-tool for these settings. But it is not pre-installed. They will mark linked bug (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=712165) as WONTFIX soon. So the aim of this bug-report is to inform Fedora users about the fact that gnome-tweak-tool is a replacement of traditional gnome-control-center keyboard menus.
