Hope you get this Stephen, you need to hit CTRL + ENTER instead of just plain ENTER after a command it bring it up in a terminal… I tested it with SSH here and it works. I have been using GMRun for ~2 years and didn’t know this myself until now!

Awesome blog, how do you get around ssh closing instantly when you run it via gmrun?

[...] gmrun, which I’ve mentioned before [...]

bashrun (http://bashrun.sourceforge.net) follows through where gmrun stops — it simply uses bash and a small terminal window to create a launcher, so everything you know from bash is already there, and it adds a lot of features that gmrun has, and then some more.

@Onyros
thanks for the hint. Worked like a charm.

Darn it. It did it again, even with a space between. K., please delete that second comment and this one, and while you’re at it, could you please also insert ALT before F2 in that fourth and sixth line of comment?

Errm… WordPress’ comments ate a little tag I had somewhere in that comment. It was a F2 tag in panel_run_dialog and run_command_1′s line.

@fftb: instructions for replacing ALT+F2′s behaviour in GNOME…

First you have to run gconf-editor. Head over to apps –> metacity –> global_keybindings –> and remove F2 from panel_run_dialog’s line.

After that insert F2 in run_command_1′s line.

Now, head over to keybinding commands and insert “gmrun” on that command_1 line… Voilá

And all that for GNOME, whereas in Fluxbox… all you have to do is nano ~/.fluxbox/keys and replace the original Mod F2 line (from changing to Workspace 2) with

Mod F2 :ExecComand gmrun

That much simpler, yep…

KDE has a nice applet which can be placed in the Kicker (the ‘taskbar’ panel in KDE), providing this same function. Seems useless but it isn’t once you have it!

To be honest, I don’t know about Gnome. I would suspect it would involve gconf or something, but it’s been years — no literally, years — since I put that much effort into Gnome. Perhaps someone else can help on that one.
