Description Nrbrtx 2013-12-14 18:15:59 UTC
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.

Comment 1 Nrbrtx 2013-12-24 09:08:18 UTC
Fedora 20 final does not contain this window too.

Comment 2 Jaroslav Reznik 2015-03-03 15:19:43 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle.
Changing version to '22'.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 20:04:13 UTC
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
