Hi Ryan/Paul.

You're right Ryan. We are mixing two <> concepts/ideas: a) What should 
appear when HUD is triggered; b) the shortcut to it.
For b) I don't have any special keypress preference, Paul (Cap lock 
could be problematic in some cases). Both Alt-left, Alt-right are good 
options.
For a)  I'm proposing to join both HUD shortcuts in one (keeping the 
current HUD behaviour:).
From this idea we can even think how to move on in the future:
examples:
    - typing "f" - current behaviour
    - typing "Alt + "f": triggers File (submenu)
    -...
(its a starting point )

If this is what you mean, then it would definitely look less-cluttered. If this is not what you mean, could you please explain it to me? Sorry if I have misunderstood you. Thanks!
