[Bug 580295] Re: Unity: Alt-F2 not working
I did some further testing, with the result that Alt+F2 works _sometimes_, but not always. For example, when I boot into daily live images 20110803.1 (both amd64 and i386), Alt+F2 does nothing, no matter how often I press the combination. It also didn't work on my fresh installation yesterday. But when I booted again tommorow into the same fresh installation, suddenly Alt+F2 worked! I thought it could be related to installing the propritary Nvidia driver. But it continued working when I removed the Nvidia driver (yes, all tests were done under Unity 2D. Never seen the problem with the Compiz-based Unity so far.). So the next step would be to find out what stops Alt+F2 from working sometimes, but I honestly have no clue how to find out. But I would gladly do further testing if somebody has an idea.

@Jan -- since you mentioned daily build I presume you are booting images of 11.10 Oneric Ocelot and not 11.04 Natty Narwhal. Since this bug was closed in 11.04 Natty you are probably seeing a different issue and you will want to open a new bug against Oneric.

[Bug 580295] Re: Unity: Alt-F2 not working
While testing natty, the dash, unity sidebar, panel and compiz crash. Not having a simple alt-f2 run dialog forces me to reboot. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/580295 Title: Unity: Alt-F2 not working -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 580295] Re: Unity: Alt-F2 not working
I have an idea on how to solve this problem from an UI and usability
point of view:
Chromium has this neat 'quick search' feature that enables the user to
search a specific topic by typing 'keyword' + 'space' + 'search input'.
The same could be done with Unity dash, e.g. type 'l update-manager'
('l' for 'launch') to run 'update-manage' as when you pressed Alt-F2 in
the old days.
To get a better idea of what I mean, look at the mock-up.
Implementing this kind of keyword search would open the door to a lot of other
exiting search features like:
- 'w' for Wikipedia search
- 's' normal Internet search
- documentation search for a special topic like 'p' for python
- user specified keyword' to run - user specified launch/search script → hello
Zeitgeist :)
- and many more...
A similar type of 'specified search terminology' is already used by
Firefox, Chrome and DuckDuckGo in form of '!Bang' keywords. As the
Alt-F2 feature is used mostly by advanced users, I think previous Alt-F2
users would quickly adopt the new procedure.
Pros:
- a consistent and expandable launch/search schema
- idea would extend the Unity dash without interrupting the current interface
- space for a lot of future Unity dash magic
Cons:
- when typing 'character + space' users could accidentally get into special
launch/search mode
- not average user friendly (maybe a small drop-down search option menu as in
Firefox could help out)

Re: [Bug 580295] Re: Unity: Alt-F2 not working
There are a large number of documents out there the describe Alt+F2 as a means to enter a command. Why should this functionality not be available with Unity? Personally, if Alt+F2 is to be enhanced, I'd take a look at OS X's Spotlight for an example of good usability. At present, I am amazed at how many things there are that are more difficult to achieve with Unity than with the classic Gnome UI.

Please stop adding new implementation suggestions.

Re: [Bug 580295] Re: Unity: Alt-F2 not working
@papukaija: Then the Unity documentation should state that it will offer significantly reduced functionality compared to the status quo on Gnome. I don't want to get off-point on this bug, but IMO, Unity is a big step backwards for Linux on the Desktop. I can only hope that the current version of Unity in the Natty dailies will have massive improvements before the release of Natty.

[Bug 580295] Re: Unity: Alt-F2 not working
I think the dash way is the best.. i did expect it to run commands that i enter anyway until i understood that it's just a search box.. Adding this functionality wouldn't break any existing one or create usability issues imho.. the only negative aspect is that when unity crashes Alt+F2 does exactly nothing which is quite annoying.. but that was the same with the traditional Alt+F2 anyway.. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/580295 Title: Unity: Alt-F2 not working -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
