> With the new HUD plans, the global menu related issues will be temporary...
Please explain. I do not see how HUD solves the bad mouse ergonomics described in this bug report.
HUD is a non-menu system, but it still presents a list of "menu items" (just don't call them that). And HUD is still disconnected and distanced from the window where one is working, just like the global menu. On large or multimonitor setups, the HUD will be a long way away at times.
Not only does one have to type to get the list to display some choices, picking one of those choices is often most conveniently done with the mouse -- just watch Ubuntu's own promo videos for HUD. Since I have 3 monitors, moving my mouse all the way to the upper left is not ergonomic.
The traditional design is still much better. Couple that with an ergonomic mouse, and you have a solution that is far better than Unity/HUD. (I use a Roller Mouse, so I can move the mouse cursor without reaching away from my keyboard.)
