Public bug reported:
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.
