[James Ferguson <1309299@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Adding a me-too.  I came from 12.04 using Unity-2d, and use Emacs so use
the alt key a lot, and use emacs-style Alt shortcuts in the terminal
too.  I'm endlessly having to deal with an unwanted HUD.

Firstly, since the HUD doesn't work for Emacs, it shouldn't appear at
all for apps for which it's disabled.

But secondly the heuristics are all wrong.  I love the HUD, but I'm
going to have to change the shortcut key because it's making my system
infuriating.

Title:
  hud activates too quickly on 14.04

Status in Unity HUD:
  Invalid
Status in Unity:
  New
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After upgrading from 13.10 to 14.04, the HUD appears at unwanted times
  and captures keystrokes. In gnome-terminal, type alt-s. ESC s will be
  sent correctly to the terminal, but the HUD will then appear and
  capture subsequent keystrokes. The HUD feels a bit more sensitive now;
  I've had to move it to a different key combination to avoid this
  issue.
