Bug Description

Little confusing description.
g-c-c -> keyboard -> keyboard shortcuts -> launcher describes HUD as <Alt L> shortcut, it should be <Alt_Left> or just <Alt> as in ccsm -> unity-plugin. (screenshots)

Thank you for your bug report, what is listed is not "alt+L" it's "Alt_L" which means "left alt", i.e the alt tab at the left of space (in opposite of alt_R the one on the other side), I agree it's confusing though but it's not really a bug

Sebastien, thank you for the explanation.
Should I close this bug then as invalid since the subject isn't true then or we wait for someone else confirming?
It also depends on the keyboard layout if there exist two Alt-keys.
I'm not sure if Alt_Left would improve the understanding regarding different keyboard layouts.

We can keep the bug open for the confusing wording though it's a low importance issue

Thanks Sebastien, fine with me. At least I've learned what the 'L' is. Changed the description to reflect my confusion.

Ubuntu moved to GNOME and there is no HUD option anymore in gcc
