Slack 9, no Run Command upon pressing Alt+F2

Any idea what happened to the Alt+F2 Run command?

This was a very useful feature and it's gone now.

Open up the KDE control center
K>Settings>Control Center
go to "regional and accessibility"
select "Keyboard shortcuts"
under the heading "desktop" should be a "run command"
check it's ALT+F2 ... if it ain't ...

I'm assuming you're not talking about the virtual consoles then?

okay, now i am really confused. Before when i pressesd Alt+F2 nothing was happening. You said to check in the keyboard shortcuts, so i went in there to check it, and it says Run Command Alt+F2. I closed that settings window and hit Alt+F2 and now it works. Very strange... but at least it works now.

Astro, i'm not familiar with the term 'virtual console', so i can't say if the run command is called a virtual console or not.

Could you please not use Red Text, it hurts my poor eyes.

Virtual consoles are just different consoles or terminals or CLIs (whatever) that you bring up by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1-7.

I think he wasnt sure if you were refering to that, or just Alt+F2.

You use virtual consoles if you are just in Text mode and you want to be doing multiple commands/"things" at the same time.
