Bug Description

This is triggered mostly for me in Firefox, where I use Alt+D to switch to the address bar, however, if I do this in the same "cycle" or period of time I'd usually press a single key, then it triggers the HUD, but if I consiously press and hold Alt, then press D and release both at the same time, it doesn't.

I've worked around this for now by remapping the HUD (following http://ubuntuguide.net/disable-unitys-hud-head-up-display-or-change-keyboard-shortcut) however, it would appear that there's no check for another key being pressed in the same time window.

Aside from re-mapping, is there anything else I could be doing here?
