I don't tend to be complain alot about updates of Ubuntu, but I really hope that button is customizable. I'd not be happy if I'd have to rebind meta key in emacs.



It doesn't trigger the HUD if you type a key sequence but it's quite easy to activate it nonetheless.

Anyway, the command below is all that's needed to disable it.

    gconftool-2 -s /apps/compiz-1/plugins/unityshell/screen0/options/show_hud -t string ''
You can also take the scenic route and use CCSM.


Yes, and having to use tape seems really unhandy :P


I have the same concern but I'm sure a lot of Ubuntu developer are heavy Emacs users, they must have worked out a way to conciliate the two.


I don't complain either, but I don't see why its not the super key, as that brings up the dash in Ubunto 11.0[410].
