1) The HUD should allow the users to add tools and options not found in any drop down menu.
I know the HUD only lets you access items in dropdown menus, giving the HUD a large blind-spot. Inkscape won't let you select tools using the HUD. I should be able to add them or my favorites, at least. There are lots of little options and checkboxes found on Libreoffice and Inkscape that I wish I could turn on and off with the HUD, quickly. There should be a way to add them. Right now there seems to be no plan to add such a feature and there should be.
2)Why isn't there a universal "close" command? I have to memorize which program needs "close", "quit", or "exit".
Yes, CTRL-Q is faster, but new users, which 12.04 focuses even further on, could have "close this program" as a HUD option for all programs, searchable by typing "cl" <enter>.
3)Unity 2d is so stable, but it has GUI quirks that hold it back.
You can test this in your Unity2d: a) The mouse interferes with the HUD, making Unity 2d unusable; trying to use unity 2d's hud will cause accidents if the mouse is in its way. b) New windows within a program have a high probability of appearing behind the program.
4) Application shortcuts and macros should be searchable. Right? After all, there are hundreds!
There can be hundreds of shortcuts for each application we use. I generally learn the ones I need the most, but I'd love it if we could search these in the hud.
Let me know your thoughts on these. How can I get these added? Are these really difficult features for the Ubuntu staff to add?
