Hi,
I use Alt+F2 a lot to launch apps and at the same time the "dash
search" to launch apps is an awesome feature. But in 11.10, Alt+f2 is
different from dash-search (although they look similar). Dash search
is where I click the ubuntu launcher, type the app name/description
and be able to launch
No, they're different things. The dash searches for applications and
files. Alt+f2 is to run a command. It is case sensitive and must be
exact. It would be very confusing if the dash gained that behaviour.

I think this was the best suggestion on this so far. It would add a
missing feature to Unity and bring more unity to Ubuntu desktop.

I wish there was no difference between Dash search () Alt-F1 and
Alt-F2.
Both search panels look exactly the same, and should behave exactly the
same.
Why not something like?

Ctrl-Enter: Run as a command

The question is why lump them together? They both provide two very different
functions and the shortcut differencebis sufficient to keep them separate.
The current implementation works. Why change it if it isn't broken?

And a different viewpoint: Win7 doesn't distinguish between 'execute

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

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

As for it being unlikely, I'd argue that it isn't. There are many
