HUD interferes with browser navigation using alt-arrows

[Steve Magoun]

Browsers such as Firefox bind Alt-left arrow and Alt-right arrow to the back/forward action, making it easy to traverse your browser history using the keyboard. If you tap alt-arrow to navigate in your browser, it is likely that the HUD will open and take focus. This is really frustrating. The problem is timing-dependent, which makes it seem non-deterministic to a user.

To reproduce:
1) Open any web page in a browser window or tab
2) In the same window/tab, go to another web page
3) Tap Alt-Left arrow to go back to the first page

Expected results:
The browser goes back to the first page and retains focus.

Actual results:
The browser goes back to the first page. The HUD opens and steals focus from the browser.

Oh - and yeah, it is a real pain. :-/ Combined with the HUD returning focus to the wrong window, it's been causing me big problems for a long time now.
