Again! How many apps are affected? I only heard about emacs, which is definitely a power-user tool! Wouldn't it be possible to make some exceptions for applications which rely on ALT as modifier? If one of these apps is on top ... HUD will be blocked or deactivated and has its normal function?

You talk about the quick-lists in the launcher? It does not make sense to "close", because after closing the program can still run and the launcher can not decide which window to close. In the quick-list should only be "quit", which makes the program shut down. Ctrl+W is the short-cut to close
