This bug is Opinion. It's an opinion that I agree with. I don't like the
HUD using Alt either, but it has been explicitly designed that way.
The Alt+Arrow issue Omer mentions is bug 969039...

Title:
Using Alt as the default hotkey for opening the HUD is not optimal

Bug description:
Ctrl, Alt, and Shift have historically been used as modifier keys and
I believe that by themselves, should not be bound to any specific
action (currently opening the HUD) by default as this interferes with
too many existing functions.
=====A USER STORY=====
It's mostly an issue when I'm in the process of hitting Alt+Tab or Alt+` and
then decide that I've changed my mind and I let go of Alt. Instead of nothing
happening, the HUD appears which is not what I would expect.
