Bug Description
With ubuntu HUD installed, I can not take a screenshot of the focused window with the Alt+PrtSrc, as probably HUD gets the alt, so the screenshot tool takes Alt+PrtSrc as if only PrtSrc would have been pressed

Pressing alt+print twice opens screenshot ui and leaves HUD. Other selected shortcuts are ignored by HUD.
As workaround to view screenshot ui using interactive mode via ccsm. (bug 927952)
I wouldn't consider interference with essential shortcuts as low. Introduction of more and more new shortcuts which in case interfere with system or custom shortcuts upsets users which is the last what a LTS needs.
