Description Michal Jaegermann 2011-02-19 20:47:22 UTC

Description of problem:

My gconf settings remap some keyboard keys.  In particular a position of Ctrl key and that for me is of an utmost importance.  AFAICS this setting is ignored in gnome3 and, what is worse, an eventual replacement is not easy to find if it exists at all.

No idea if this bug has any relationship to bug 678807.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-settings-daemon-2.91.9-6

How reproducible:
every time I tried

Expected results:
A method to remap a keybord the way I need it plus paying attention to an existing configuration on upgrades.

Those were libgnomekbd options, which it owns. It only very recently got a convert file to migrate the GConf keys to GSettings added.

http://git.gnome.org/browse/libgnomekbd/commit/?id=5977f14b1c4d4e95efa6390e4c9fa9dc45cc2fe0

Remapping the Ctrl key can be done in the Region and Language panel, under Layouts, see the options.
