[Bug 1551986] Re: [FFe][UIFe] HUD hotkey assignment is suboptimal

 

UIFe comment:
This change won't be reflected in the desktop guide, whose final version is currently in the Xenial upload queue. Guess we can live with that - fixing this issue carries probably greater weight.

As regards the new translatable string "Window", you have notified the
translators via the ubuntu-translators list. Good. Currently six days
remain before "LanguagePackTranslationDeadline" on April 14, so the
upload should better be carried out instantly to give the translators a
fair chance.

UIFe approved - with some reluctance.

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
