As I mentioned in the similar bug 1222970...
For Ubuntu 13.10, the extra keyboard layout options are in gnome-tweak-
tool. This bug will be fixed when we upgrade gnome-control-center to 3.8
as it moves many of the options back to gnome-control-center.
Setting priority to low since there's an easy workaround.
** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu)
Importance: Medium => Low
** Description changed:
Up until Raring, it was trivial to use the gnome-control-center to modify
caps lock key behavior.
In earlier versions you could do the following:
- - Launch System Settings
- - Click on Keyboard Layout
- - Click on Options
- - These options allow one to modify Caps Lock Key behavior (for example swap
it with ESC)
+ - Launch System Settings
+ - Click on Keyboard Layout
+ - Click on Options
+ - These options allow one to modify Caps Lock Key behavior (for example swap
it with ESC)
In newer versions of Saucy I try to do the following:
- - Launch System Settings
- - Click on Keyboard
- - Click on Layout Settings
- - Cannot find a location similar to these older options
+ - Launch System Settings
+ - Click on Keyboard
+ - Click on Layout Settings
+ - Cannot find a location similar to these older options
These older 'Keyboard Layout Options' made it very easy to do things
like swaping Caps Lock for ESC which make vim users much happier.

+ Use gnome-tweak-tool
