You have been subscribed to a public bug: When I press Alt plus any cursor key in quick succession, the HUD erroneously appears. This steals focus and disrupts the workflow quite severely. This was much worse in earlier Unity versions, 5.8 already made this a lot better. But this case still remains for me.
When I leave some time (0.5 s or so) between pressing Alt and the cursor key, this does not happen. But when pressing them almost at the same time, the bug happens. I can reproduce this 100%, so feel free to ask for any additional debugging info. The problem is not that I hit the Cursor key before alt. This proves it: $ xev | grep -A2 ^KeyPress KeyPress event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x3800001, root 0xbe, subw 0x0, time 17590219, (112,69), root:(113,867), state 0x0, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES, -- KeyPress event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x3800001, root 0xbe, subw 0x0, time 17590299, (112,69), root:(113,867), state 0x8, keycode 113 (keysym 0xff51, Left), same_screen YES, and I get the HUD. It does not matter which application/window is focussed. It happens in gnome-terminal, Firefox, or the blank desktop all alike. It does not happen with other Alt key combinations, just with the cursor keys. I also saw this happen quite a lot with Ctrl+Alt (controlling screen grab in KVM) or Ctrl+Alt+Cursor (changing workspaces), but I cannot reliably reproduce those.
