Configuring Typing Break Preferences
Use the Typing Break tabbed page to set typing break preferences.
Compose key position Specifies the key to be used as the Compose key. Use the
Compose key to combine two keystrokes to make one
character, such as an accented character that is not on your
keyboard layout.
Ctrl key position Specify the key that acts as the Ctrl key. This is useful on
older keyboards that do not have a Ctrl key.
Group Shift/Lock behavior Select keys or combinations of keys that switch your
keyboard layout when pressed.
Miscellaneous compatibility options Specify whether shift works with the Num Lock key on a
numerical keypad as it does on Windows. If not selected, use
shift with the numerical keypad to obtain the reverse of the
current behavior. For example, when Num Lock is off, the 8
key acts as an up arrow. Press Shift+8 to type the number 8.
Also, specify whether certain keyboard shutcuts are
processed by the X windowing system rather than by
GNOME.
Third level choosers If a third-level chooser is specified, you can obtain a third
character from certain keys in the same way that using Shift
with a key produces a different key than pressing that key
without shift. For example, if you add the Euro sign to the E
key and set the left Windows key as the third-level chooser,
then pressing Left-E produces the Euro sign.
Use keyboard LED to show alternative
group Specify that one of the keyboard lights indicates when you are
using an alternative keyboard layout. That light will no longer
indicate its standard function.
