After my update on 17.10 I couldn't get a french Belgian keyboard in the input sources.
During install time I have tried to find my keyboard layout by using the "Type this key process" without success.
I have also tried all the French keyboard but none of them allow me to type "@" or "-"... sut to mention main missing keys.

Here are my input sources

I could find the missing keyboard layout by typing this in the terminal: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources show-all-sources true

I think it would be a good idea to add a button to show more layout... or at least to document how to proceed to get those additional layout

In order to find French(Belgian) keyboard in the first list, you have to install "french" first, as a supported language (bottom button "Managed Installed Languages").
Then you will see every french options like "French(Canada)", "French(Belgium)", etc in the main list of inputs.

I actually had the same issue while trying to add the Belgian keyboard. I had to reload gnome-shell to get the Belgian input method despite I had several other French ones, and the Belgian regional settings.

It's confusing that the Belgian layout does not appear automatically.

Hmm.. This conversation seems to be about a confusion about the Settings GUI, not an IBus bug, and since the problem seems to be resolved, I closed it.

As regards documentation of extra layouts, it's there on this page:
