Nicholas Christian Langkjær Ipsen (ncli) wrote : Unity's ALT+F2 lacks functionality present in Gnome 2.XX

Binary package hint: unity

Steps to repeat:

1. Press ALT+F2
2. start typing a command

What happens:
3. The launcher displays various commands, but requires that you use tab or the mouse to get to them.
4. Pressing enter without the complete command entered means nothing happens

What should happen:
1. The launcher should, like the one in Gnome 2.XX, try to find the entry in /usr/bin which you're typing the name of.
2. When it has figured it out, it should show the text after the text entry cursor, perhaps slightly faded to show that it is merely a suggestion.
3. Pressing enter should then execute the suggested command.
4. If the user continues to enter text, the suggestion should slowly be replaced by what the user enters if it matches, and disappear if it doesn't.
5. Pressing tab with the suggestion displayed should complete the command according to the suggestion, but not execute it, allowing the user to add options.
