Title:
  gnome-control-center keyboard no longer has way to modify caps lock
  key behavior

Status in GNOME Control Center:
  Won't Fix
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  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)

  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

  These older 'Keyboard Layout Options' made it very easy to do things
  like swaping Caps Lock for ESC which make vim users much happier.

  WORKAROUND
  ==========
  Use gnome-tweak-tool
