, which is the Left Alt, not Alt+L

How do I reset the default value of Unity shortcut?
In: "System Settings -▸ Keyboard -▸ Shortcuts ..."
For instances:
- I can't put the default Alt L for the HUD.
- I can't put the default Alt+Print to capture the active window.
Simply typing it doesn't work.
Solving this in CLI is preferable.
