Re: Command completer in runDialog

[Vamsi Krishna Brahmajosyula <vamsikrishna brahmajosyula gmail com>]

Ok, i would love to write one. I usually suggest Alt+F2 even to a new user of linux. I think its a faster and cleaner way to

start what ever u want. At the end of the day its a matter of choice. 

By the way how do I start writing an extension/plugin to gnome-shell. 

I want a textual list of windows open as a plugin to the panel(a pure verbose version of alt-tab) alongside  power, volume,.. etc. Any suggestions on how to start?

Thanks

Right, there's no user feedback. The Alt+F2 dialog is supposed to be a
hidden 'power user' feature. You can make a dropdown if you want, but
I bet the response is "if Alt+F2 becomes a part of your daily
workflow, we've done something wrong"
