Hi,
if we have alt+find, why do we need ctrl+f?
having both is redundant
if we have alt+save, why do we need ctrl+s?
having both is redundant
eliminate ctrl+f, ctrl+s, ctrl+x, ctrl+c, ctrl+v etc
move alt to ctrl
Best regards,
Pedro Bessa

It's not just "some". Pretty much any application with mnemonic

Hit only ALT _briefly_ brings up the HUD and gets focused, again HUD

Yes, but in this case, the HUD won't activate because you hit another key.
The original proposal was to discuss making it an OPTION, rather than
changing the key. I think this would be an excellent idea, since
between those three, most people will be able to find one that works.

Physical CapsLock won't work because many Emacs users (and others) swap left
control and capslock. Anybody remember those old Sun keyboards, which were
probably the last ones
I don't like the idea of assigning separate behaviour to left-ALT and
right-ALT by default.
Some keyboards (netbooks, macs, etc.) only have one alt key, and having
buttons with the same label do different things is non-obvious, difficult
to explain, and makes it much more difficult to provide inst
I think the original proposal was to offer a choice between the three keys.
Most people will be able to pick one out of those three that will work
great.

Hi,
I thought I'd through in my 2 cents on this matter. I like the idea of
using Super-something, and in particular Super-space for the HUD. I use
multiple keyboard layouts (for different languages) on my system, and so I
use Caps-lock to switch between them. I know a lot of people use the
