Title:
  HUD default shortcut (ALT) is way too used by other programs and it
  creates conflicts

Status in Ayatana Design:
  New
Status in “hud” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  All programs use ALT key for some action: open menu, Firefox uses
  ALT+number to fast go to a tab, etc. and HUD also uses ALT key. This
  creates not only confusion, but also dozen of HUD accessed by mistake.
  It is quite anoying.

  My suggestion is to use some other key or key combination for this. I
  know it is easy to change (http://askubuntu.com/questions/122209/how-
  do-i-modify-or-disable-the-huds-use-of-the-alt-key), but why could it
  not be done GREAT by default? Most users do not want to change
  settings to have a well configured system :)

  Thanks!
