[edit] Synopsis

Prompt for an application and run it.

[edit] Description

Provides a "Run application" command. This is similar to the GNOME run dialog, but doesn't require GNOME or any other external programs: It opens a window that prompts the user for the name of an application in $PATH and then runs it. Supports use of TAB expansion to complete the application name.

[edit] Installation

1. Save run-application.jl in your load-path.
2. Add this code to your ~/.sawfishrc:

   (require 'run-application)

[edit] Configuration

You can use the Sawfish Configurator to bind the "Run application" command to a key of your choosing. The settings can be changed in the "Miscellaneous" -> "Run application" tab.
