I understand and I quite agree that such keybinding replacement could cause some troubles to people who were used to use Alt+Space for such use case (which is historically relevant). I would have preferred to just move the HUD to Super+Space.
However, adding the ability of using the window actions from the HUD is something that doesn't impact with the keybinding change, and also it improves the accessibility for those actions. So you might just ACK the change for BAMF and HUD packages only, without breaking any user habit. While we can delay the default-shortcut for unity and compiz packages. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Documentation Packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-docs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1551986 Title: [FFe][UIFe] HUD hotkey assignment is suboptimal Status in bamf package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in compiz package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in hud package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in libwnck3 package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in ubuntu-docs package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in unity package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in bamf source package in Xenial: In Progress Status in compiz source package in Xenial: In Progress Status in hud source package in Xenial: In Progress Status in libwnck3 source package in Xenial: In Progress Status in unity source package in Xenial: In Progress 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.
