I like the way they are handling subitems:

This is sorely needed - eg, for the keyboard section I am working on,
adding anything other than the layout[1] would make the section
terribly cluttered. However, at some point we would probably want to
see customizable short-cuts, behaviour of special modifier keys (Meta,
Super etc) and maybe things like key repeat rate, etc.

Thanks,
Sayamindu
