[Luke Yelavich <luke.yelavich@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have to disagree with this change. It makes sense that window movement
related shortcut keys used the super key, however menus are opened with
the alt key, i.e alt h for help, alt e for edit, etc. Following that
logic, I think it makes sense to leave the window actions menu as alt
space, given that the same convention si used in many other desktop
environments, and other operating systems.

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
