GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 386680
Merge Keyboard, Keyboard Shortcuts, Mouse into an Input Devices capplet
Last modified: 2008-03-29 13:38:40 UTC
I took a few minutes in glade and made a first attempt at merging the Keyboard, Keyboard Shortcuts, and Mouse capplets into one. I have four tabs: Keyboard, Keyboard Shortcuts, Keyboard Layouts, and Mouse I removed the pointer theming as I believe it should be moved to the Theme capplet. I will attach screenshots and the glade file.

As a maintainer of "Layouts"/"Layout Options" tabs, I do not mind. The only questionable moment is whether heavy popup like "Layout Options" would look nice.
Dennis, thank you for working on that. Maybe you could mail the gnome-cc-list about that?

The keyboard shortcuts part of this bug is a dupe of bug 78102, which I just made a patch for. :)
I think the unified devices capplet idea has pretty much been shot down last cycle since it would get much too complex (there's also touchpad, maybe joystick, ...).
