OK, good point well made. I presume that commands issued via the HUD actually trigger menu entries? As I say, I don't use it so I don't know. E.g. can you go directly to a sub-option buried in a tab of a dialog box? > I agree entirely, however, that it is not good enough that the normal > Alt key actions do not work.

It's interesting to look at the progression & change in Ubuntu/Canonical over the last few years. Up until 2010 or so, it was widely said in the Linux world that Canonical didn't do any real development - they just tweaked and integrated stuff they took from Debian. Now, it's doing more original R&D than almost anyone, with its own desktop, its own display server, and the overlapping Ubuntu Touch / Ubuntu Mobile / Ubuntu for Android projects. As such, others have made the observation that it seems like the company is over-committed and that long-standing bugs are getting neglected. -- Liam Proven • Profile: http://lproven.livejournal.com/profile Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk • GMail/G+/Twitter/Flickr/Facebook: lproven MSN: lpro...@hotmail.com • Skype/AIM/Yahoo/LinkedIn: liamproven Tel: +44 20-8685-0498 • Cell: +44 7939-087884 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
