Currently I use Ctrl-Alt-t as Alt-F2 (thanks to Mark for the tip, I

wondering: Why go through all the trouble and introduce a new program

In unity we already have a wonderful application launcher: The

Yes, the app lens is a great starting point, but there is a gotcha in
that the traditional alt-f2 also allows things like run in terminal

We could just use the same applications dash, with the word Run instead of

Would adding a [ ] Run in terminal checkbox below Run box fix that?
(Not sure how feasible this is but, we already have buttons, scrollbar in the

FWIW, from my perspective the run in terminal option is NOT a must-
have. I use the traditional alt-f2 constantly, and I have for years. And
in all that time I think I opted to run something in the terminal once.
If something must be run in the terminal, which I do quite often, I
typically use
The traditional Alt+F2 also allows the user to run any command he/she
could run in a terminal, not only to launch registered applications.

The best solution would be to just include Synapse in the main installation:
It is fast(Vala written) and works with Zeithgeist.

Ctrl+F2 isn't doing it for me. Fresh install, but admittedly I've made

Confirm if CTRL+F2 gives you the run box you are looking for. It works
for me and I don't believe that anything extra has enabled this feature
as it was done on a fresh install. Please test for confirmation.

@ Comment #18
At the moment developers have chosen to go with gmrun since it is a simple
application to run executable files. It will be basically like the run dialog
from gnome-panel, but a stand-alone alternative.
While your suggestion is appreciated, for now, at least, I think it is best to

What about Synapse?
Its similar to Gnome-Do but with more active development (many of the
developers of Synapse previously worked on Gnome-do). It might not be as
lightweight as gmrun, but it has many features, such as Zeitgeist integration.

gmrun was suggested as an option here. Playing with it, it will need a
little love on the styling front, and it would be nice if it gave a
type-ahead-find listing without needing tab, but it could serve the
purpose for Natty.

@#10
a) It isn't a 'fix' it's a 'workaround'. New user has to search the web for an
answer or reported bugs.
b) This is a no go regarding the mission 'user-friendly', since system
preferences - shortcuts state the shortcut is Alt+F2 (screenshot), btw. Alt+F1
also doesn't run.

No really Sam, we will need to add a custom application for that.
indeed, alt + F2 app is part of gnome-panel IIRC, that we won't launch
with unity. So, keybinding by default + dedicated app will be needed.

And again we end users are left asking why a product that is not ready
for prime time, and has fewer features is replacing existing
functionality? Especially this time when the old functionality was
simply taken away abruptly.

One workaround is to install the package 'gmrun', then use the Add
button in gnome-keybinding-properties to create a new action with the
command 'gmrun'. This can then be bound to Alt+F2.
gmrun, however, has reduced functionality compared to the Gnome Panel
run dialog.
