I just tried and the Launcher currently activates on key press, not
release. Super+2 activates without releasing the key.
Yes, and that would have to be changed.
Change the key press to key release would indeed introduce an
unacceptable delay. I
But Alt-F1 triggers keyboard navigation of the launcher, not the dash. You
can switch directlyfrom there to either dash or the Run dialog without any
other action. To open the dash, briefly press and release Super, which is a
very different shortcut from Alt-F2, and not likely to be confused. It is

It is simple, but it isn't intuitive.
Pressing enter (in combination with any other key) indicates that you want
to do an action with the item selected on the screen. We don't want the dash
to search commands, as this is not end-user friendly. A new user should
never have to know what a command is

As for it being unlikely, I'd argue that it isn't. There are many
times where I hit Super only to decide I'd rather enter a command
rather than launch an application. Right now it's impossible to
mode-switch easily, because you have to close and reope
Good point, Ian. I am convinced now that the dash must not absorb the
functionality of the run dialog.
The dash should remain user-friendly, especially for new users.
However, the behaviour I wanted would still be available through
lenses? I don't know much about Unity lenses, and at first I thou

The idea of moving the BFB to the bottom left has been raised a few
times and it has certain advantages:
1. It's where users migrating from windows will expect it to be
2. As Stefanos said, it allows us to use screen corners for BFB, window
controls and panel menus.
