Comment 4 for bug 932528

I intended to report this very bug, but on reading and further checking it appears I was just not tapping the key fast enough to activate HUD. (Of course I can't say if the same is true of the OPs instance). A CCSM control would be helpful I think (if anything it would alert the user to the need for swiftly releasing the key).

Having a keypress behave differently based on the time it's held seems rather unintuitive to me - just a new paradigm allowing multi use of the button huh?
