“English (US, International with dead keys)” missing on Ubuntu 18.04
I was able to find and configure the English (US, International with dead keys) keyboard on every version of Ubuntu so far, but I really couldn't find it on the new 18.04. Did they remove it completely?
I am able to get the same effect if I execute the following command on terminal:
setxkbmap -layout us -variant intl
However, I am having trouble executing this command on startup and, anyway, I wish I was able to configure the keyboard directly.
Any tips?

@amDude1848: It was easier in Unity. Just one long list, from where you could look up any input source directly. The new GUI confuses quite a few users.

Thank you all for the help! Wow, I never thought about selecting the language so I've never seen the sub menu. Indeed it used to be all in a long list in the past. Well, I guess it is more organized this way.

The menu with the keyboard-layouts is bit hidden in Gnome. To set your keyboard-layout open language-settings and click the Plus-Button(+) at the bottom left. Than add your language again and after that the sub-menu with the keyboard-layouts will open.

And only to make this answer even more complete. The full path to reaching the option is: Settings app -> Region & Language -> Click the + icon in Input Sources -> Select your main language -> Select the keyboard layout from the sub-menu.

At no point does the list include the US intl keyboard with dead keys or nay keyboard with alt-gr. I had no problem with Ubuntu 16.04. I am getting more frustrated daily with 18.04.1. Keyboard problems, handling transfer of large files (>300MB, not really large) freezing, CUPS problems with a wireless printer which works fine when wired. What is going on?
