Public bug reported:

I used to be able to set the HUD keybinding by going to System Settings
-> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Launchers.

The default Alt-L keybinding is very disruptive to Emacs users, so we
tend to like to rebind the HUD.  In my case, I want to set it to Alt-R.

On Trusty machines where the rebinding has already been done, it seems
to still be the case across reboots.  However, one of my machines (for
some reason) always resets my custom keybindings to the default after a
dist-upgrade and reboot.  I used to just reset the HUD launcher back to
Alt-R when that happens, but now I can't, and it's breaking my Emacs
use.

Did the HUD launcher keybinding setting move to a different location in
System Settings?  Was it deliberately removed?   If so, *please* bring
back the ability to rebind the HUD launcher.
