I find that the super key works even better.

Not a designer here, but going to hopefully give a common thought that
I doubt we're going to make Alt-F2 prettier or featureful. It's a
power user tool with a simple goal: run a command, discard stdout/in.
I only use it for "r" (restart shell) and "lg" (looking glass).

You're still free to add an extension, but I would argue that if the
fix isn't working for you, don't add more drugs to it to you addicted,
just go cold turkey and try to break the Alt-F2 habit.
