Please bring back this functionality.
Intergrating options across several applications was *the* benefit of the HUD. If I want to choose from the options of the currently focused applications, I can simply select the preferences menu. What made the HUD unique was that it showed options from several applications at the same time.
If you chose to change this and show only options from the current application, there is nothing left that the HUD can do over what the application already can.

Why do you kill one of the most innovative inventions ubuntu created
since long? Now the HUD is no more than an application menu. This
definitely was not what it was intended to be...?

Title:
  Unable to access indicators from HUD

Status in Unity HUD:
  Opinion
Status in “hud” package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu 12.10 I was able to use HUD to access Messaging menu and Gwibber's "Update Status" option there, making status updates to Twitter easy and fast.
  I could also use HUD to change my status in Empathy from Available to Busy and vice-versa.

  In Ubuntu 13.04 Beta HUD no longer finds the "Update Status" option when typing "Update Status" or "Update"
  Also writing "Available" "Away" or "Busy" no longer gives any results.

  Other indicators however are accessible and I can use HUD to Suspend
  my computer or to view Skype status or Ubuntu one indicator options.

  Repeating:
  1. Press alt key to start HUD
  2. Write "Update status" or "Available"

  What was expected:
  HUD should have shown options ether from Gwibber to Update Status or Empathy to change status to Available both available from the messaging indicator.

  What happened:
  HUD didn't find any results.

  Notes:
  I have Ubuntu 13.04 Beta 64bit upgraded from Ubuntu 12.10 64bits and I'm using proprietary fglrx drivers.
