[Marco Trevisan (Treviño) <mail@xxxxxxxxx>]

I understand and I quite agree that such keybinding replacement could
cause some troubles to people who were used to use Alt+Space for such
use case (which is historically relevant). I would have preferred to
just move the HUD to Super+Space.

However, adding the ability of using the window actions from the HUD is
something that doesn't impact with the keybinding change, and also it
improves the accessibility for those actions. So you might just ACK the
change for BAMF and HUD packages only, without breaking any user habit.
While we can delay the default-shortcut for unity and compiz packages.

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
