Bug Description
Users should be able to copy/paste into the Alt+F2 - Run a command window. This would be extremely helpful when following How To's or typing very long commands.
For example I'm using an Asus EeePC and every time I install a new version of Ubuntu I have to tweak the settings to fix a brightness problem. For this reason I uploaded the commands to do this from a How To to my mail account and I access that mail and copy/paste the commands from it after every Ubuntu reinstall. Now I can't do this and have to type "gksu gedit /etc/default/grub" by hand or have to start a terminal to be able to copy/paste in it.
It's not a big issue, yet copy/paste-ing into the Alt+F2 - Run a command window is in my eyes a basic functionality. So it's strange to me that neither Unity nor Gnome 3 is able to do that (at least I wasn't able to do it with Gnome Shell in the Fedora 15 Beta).
