The bug is still there in 16.04.3

It should have high importance, because is confuses the hell out of people coming from Windows. Surely, it is worth considering to lower the steep learning curve for Ubuntu!

But there is serious problem here.

My mother (92) was quite happy on Windows XP, but not so on Ubuntu. She is capable of some adjustment, but used to work as secretary and types fast, assuming that her keystrokes are what she intended. As a consequence, she regularly misses popups after hitting a wrong key and cannot recover from what went 'wrong'.

And I myself regularly feel frustrated when wanting to use some alt-key and not being quick enough so that I get the HUD instead.

I think that <super>(tap) should open the HUD instead of the Dash (which I find of limited use anyway).
