<title>What is the HUD?</title>
<p>The <gui>HUD</gui> or <gui>Heads Up Display</gui> is a search-based
alternative to traditional menus and was introduced in Ubuntu 12.04
LTS.</p>
<p>Some apps like <link href="apt:gimp">Gimp</link> or
<link href="apt:inkscape">Inkscape</link> have hundreds of menu items. If
you're using apps like these, you may remember the name of a menu option,
but you might not remember how to find it in the menus.</p>
<p>Using a search box can be quite a bit faster than navigating extended
menu hierarchies. The HUD also can be more accessible than normal menus as
some people are unable to precisely control a mouse pointer.</p>

<title>Use the HUD</title>
<p>To try the HUD:</p>
<steps>
<item>
<p>Tap <key>Alt</key> to open the HUD.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Start typing.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>When you see a result that you want to run, use the up and down
keys to select the result, then press <key>Enter</key>, or click
your desired search result.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>If you change your mind and want to exit the HUD, tap the
<key>Alt</key> again or the <key>Esc</key>. You can also click
anywhere outside the HUD to close the HUD.</p>
</item>
</steps>
<p>The HUD keeps track of your search history and adjusts the search
results to be even more useful the more you use it.</p>
