The same with "alt-F2"; I expect it to immediately pop up. Alt-F2 is
meant to be fast, I don't want to alt-tab after alt-F2ing and only then
entering commands. And when I finally type in some command, again I have
to go looking for the window it generated. How has this improved the
desktop behaviour? It tires me, having to move the mouse/alt-tab just to
find windows I just opened.
