actually the dash kinda auto completes already the command "comp" and gives you compizconfig-setting.. as result.
synapse/g-do also does the same. so am not sure if he was actually referring to launching apps or auto-completing all types of commands which i dont think is appropriate either. However , completing some "basic" non-harmful commands might be ok if they are included in a white-list. but if someone uses alt+f2 so much might be better to have some type of lens just for that they could install (then the dash switches to that lens automatically if its a command) or have "run command" in the bfb quicklist. gladly i have had much use for the terminal or alt+f2 in a while, other than apt-get some stuff, which once they add fast app installing from dash, i will probably not use anymore. > From: isan...@gmail.com > Date: Wed, 29 Feb 2012 13:08:51 -0700 > To: supernova...@gmail.com > CC: unity-design@lists.launchpad.net > Subject: Re: [Unity-design] "run command" in Dash > > But you can't autocomplete commands from the dash; this exposes > advanced and potentially dangerous capability to the user. > > On Wed, Feb 29, 2012 at 13:06, supernova <supernova...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > The dash has more possibilities than you imagine.
