2012-05-13 03:27:52 Andrew description Many programs such as Nautilus, Firefox, and Google Chrome have keyboard shortcuts in the form of: Alt + Left Alt + Right Alt + Up Alt + Down When I use these keyboard shortcuts, in addition to the expected behavior within the program I'm using, Unity's HUD is displayed. Frustratingly, the HUD steals my keyboard focus, blocking subsequent key presses from reaching the program I'm trying to use. The result is that, where I used to press: Alt + ( Left, Left, Left ) I now have to make more than double the number of keystrokes and carefully watch my timing: Alt + Left, [wait for HUD to appear], Alt, [wait for HUD to disappear], Alt + Left, [wait for HUD to appear], Alt, [wait for HUD to disappear], Alt + Left, [wait for HUD to appear], Alt, [wait for HUD to disappear] ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: unity 5.12-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-24.37-generic 3.2.14 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-24-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu7 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: [core,composite,opengl,compiztoolbox,decor,vpswitch,snap,mousepoll,resize,place,move,wall,grid,regex,imgpng,session,gnomecompat,animation,fade,unitymtgrabhandles,workarounds,scale,expo,ezoom,unityshell] Date: Sat May 12 20:15:09 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120425) ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: unity UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) Many programs such as Nautilus, Firefox, and Google Chrome have keyboard shortcuts in the form of:     Alt + Left     Alt + Right     Alt + Up     Alt + Down When I use these keyboard shortcuts, in addition to the expected behavior within the program I'm using, Unity's HUD is displayed.
