Bug Description

I'm trying to disable Alt as the HUD key because it makes using emacs
very painful (see bug #934610). Disabling it makes emacs bearable but
Alt-F1 and Alt-F2 no longer work.

Changed in unity:
status: New → Confirmed
importance: Undecided → Low
milestone: none → 5.8.0
Changed in unity (Ubuntu):
status: New → Confirmed
importance: Undecided → Low

Low seems to, uh, low for this issue. I guess it'll be low if/when
#934610 is fixed, but right now having HUD enabled is *really*
annoying if you're an emacs user. Even then, a non-emacs user that
simply doesn't want HUD enabled, especially in its early state, should
be able to delete it without breaking other bindings.

Jamu, I actually think this bug is a dupe and has been fixed :-)

Thanks Tim! For what it's worth, *only* Alt-F1 and Alt-F2 were broken
for me. The other combinations continued to work, which is why I
filed a new bug. Anyway, if the issue isn't fixed in the upgrades
that come down in the next day or so I'll let you know.

While I don't the know the root cause in my case I have the same symptoms : Alt-F1 and Alt-F2 bindings are broken.
I can configure Alt-F1 and Alt-F2 with both gnome-settings and ccsm but it is ineffective, nothing happens when I press the keys...
Alt-F3 Alt-F4 is OK.

Sorry, it may not have been related. Gnome Compatibility plugin was enabled. Disabling it resolved my my problem...
Dunno why ccsm didn't told me this binding was in conflict.
Sorry for the noise.
