FWIW, despite the lateness in the cycle, I'm 100% supportive of moving the HUD away from Alt. That was (as has been pointed out) a pretty poor decision from the get-go, and it's the one key I've always had to remap locally to fix.
What I'm not okay with is fixing ONE bad binding by moving TWO. Alt- Space is a well-known binding that people have been using literally for decades. If you want something that has a comfortably similar feel to Alt-Space, Super-Space is just one key over, and doesn't appear to currently do anything, but please don't break two bindings to fix one. Pretty please.
