HUD itself has nothing to do with keyboard shortcuts. All the user
interaction is part of the unity project.

Bug description:
  If Alt-key is assigned to HUD, Alt key doesn't work correctly in some
  applications.

  For example, Blender doesn't accept Alt key press at all.  See a bug
  report in Blender bug tracker for detail:

  http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498&aid=33831&group_id=9

  When pressing Alt key, Blender receives unnecessary FocusOut and
  FocusIn events, so Blender immediately forgets the Alt key is pressed
  down.  Blender developer was very angry with Unity's such strange
  behavior.

  In Emacs, after select a region, Alt key press sometimes cancels the
  selection unexpectedly, so I can do nothing in the region.

  
  Unity 6.12.0-0ubuntu0.2
  Ubuntu 12.10 amd64
