For the people having the problem with the HUD being triggered incorrectly under unity-2d it would be great if you could install the unity-2d packages at my PPA https://launchpad.net/~aacid/+archive/ppaprecise/ and do the following after upgrading open a terminal killall unity-2d-shell killall unity-2d-shell (yes you need this twice) unity-2d-shell And then trigger the bug and write here which keypresses you did and attach the output of unity-2d-shell
The code at my PPA has extra debugging enabled that will monitors the state of the internal code that is responsible of triggering the HUD and will hopefully help us find what is wrong in the unity-2d code. If like Barry says what happens is that you happen to tap Alt without wanting to do it and thus HUD showing is not a bug, but still you would like the HUD toggling key to be configurable, you should have a look at bug 969256 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/947468 Title: Alt summoning of heads-up-display interferes with Emacs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-2d/+bug/947468/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
