It'll break the existing mnemonics behaviour, unless alt-space, x with
the HUD activates maximise immediately - which would be bad behaviour
for the HUD itself.

I think this is way too close to the release. Can we just fix the hud's
bad default binding to something else or, failing that, back this change
out and work out an acceptable solution for 16.04.1?

Cheers,

Bug description:
  = Proposed Change =
  The suggestion (subject to Design approval) is to remap HUD to alt-space and also expose window controls in to the HUD such that people used to using "alt-space n"to minimize a window still can.

  = Motivation =
  Having HUD trigger on alt tap is not working so this is a request to change it. It conflicts with several other applications such as full screen games, etc.

  = Potential Regressions =
  * Hud fails to open on alt+space
  * Hud fails to show normal menu entries for gtk applications
  * Hud fails to show normal menu entries for qt applications
