hud

Every now and then I want to reach the "Edit > Preferences" menu item in Firefox, and the HUD makes this very convenient.

ALT + "Edi" will suggest exactly that to me. Something that I find annoying however is that if I complete the work "Edit" instead, the HUD will switch to suggest "Network > Edit preferences" instead. While this is a perfectly valid match as well, it seems like an inconsistent behaviour to me.

Could someone explain in more detail how the matching works, so that I can make better use of the HUD?
