Bug Description
I would like to encourage a clarification of the "Hint" text that appears in MATE Tweak for the "Enable HUD" selection. Currently it reads, "When checked the Heads-Up Display (HUD) will be enabled. Press Alt_L to search application menus."
Perhaps it is from reading other keyboard shortcut documents, but "Alt_L" did not communicate "Left Alt key" when I saw it. I feel that it looks like a key sequence where you would press the key combination, "Alt+L" or "Alt+Shift+L". I wonder if it wouldn't be clearer to users to simply write, "Press the Left Alt key to search application menus." Or to be even more specific, "Press the Left Alt key (located next the the Windows Key or Command Key) to search application menus."
Also, the Ubuntu Mate Guide does not specify that it needs to be the "Left" Alt key to activate the HUD, so new users wouldn't be able to read the Guide for clarification of the "Hinting" text.
This is more of a documentation suggestion, than an actual bug, but I was not sure where you would like these usability suggestions logged.
