I have no strong opinion on what's the best UI design in this respect going forward, but in any case I don't think a merge should land in 14.04, since it would break the documentation on the topics. Also, please note that bug #883256 was written when keyboard layout settings were separated from IBus input methods. Since "Text Entry" integrates those, and before a possible change, I'd suggest that also users of input methods are consulted. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unity-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1189382 Title: Misleading icons for “Keyboard” and “Text Input” Status in “unity-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Control Center has two settings panels for keyboard related settings: “Keyboard” and “Keyboard Layout”. The icons used for these panels are misleading, as they suggest exact the opposite content: - The “Keyboard Layout” icon depicts tree keys, two of which are connected by an orange line. This suggest something like “keyboard shortcuts”, where you combine two or more keys to trigger certain actions. But shortcuts are part of the “Keyboard” panel. - The “Keyboard” icon depicts a whole computer keyboard. This suggests that one can configure the keyboard as a whole, i.e. its layout. Thus, I would suggest switching the icons used for these panels. P.S.: One could also question the categories these settings belong to: Personally, I would expect the keyboard layout to define the “Hardware” aspect of the keyboard, while keyboard shortcuts are more of a “Personal” setting. P.P.S.: A related, but different bug is #883256 which suggests merging these categories altogether.
