Example: if I am running LibreOffice Writer on one desktop and Audacious on another, can I train or alter the Unity HUD Alt Command to allow me access to menu items in Audacious even as Writer is the focused window?

I did a little looking around, but I'm stumped. Fuzzy matching seems simply to allow access to focused windows at any given point, unless no windows are focused. Thanks!
