Bug Description
From bug 947468:
Hey Barry,
Unity2D doesn't use those settings, they're Unity only. The Alt key is hardcoded in unfortunately. This could be made a setting if enough people want it. I advise opening a bug asking for the Alt key to be a dconf option, and hopefully we'll get to it.
-G
This is my plea to make this configurable. The current behavior makes Unity 2D essentially unusable for an Emacs user like myself, and I love U2D! ;)

Also, asides making it possible to turn it off, I have a bit of a usability issue.
While working in gnome-terminal and Chromium I tend to hit the alt-button while switching tabs sometimes briefly and it triggers the hud to come up. This is quite intrusive, as I have to stop and press Escape after that. I noticed it a few times first and now it is becoming quite annoying.
Not sure I should open another bug or whether this is close enough to this issue.
