(Get the code!)
This definitely is a problem that needs to be solved. But I am wondering: Why go through all the trouble and introduce a new program when the perfect solution is already there?
In unity we already have a wonderful application launcher: The applications lense in the dash. Would linking Alt-F2 to this lense not serve exactly the same purpose while avoiding an extra program?
There might be some adjustments necessary, but these seem only minor. There already is instant searching for example. The only thing I can think of is easy keyboard navigation through the proposed applications and launching the program by pressing the return key.
