   Anyone else feel restricted in #Gnome and #KDE with their menu based approach to starting programs? !linux

     @ambyr00 Have you tried gnome-do? Excellent app for launching apps (and other stuff) without menus

     @ambyr00 It's not like the menu is the only option. Krunner & gnome-do are great for launching apps (+much more)

     @ambyr00 Not sure about KDE, but you can assign keyboard shortcuts to run programs in Gnome. I often set up my most used apps this way.

     @ambyr00: what's wrong with menu-based approach? just curious.

     @ambyr00 that's what gnome-do is for :P

     @ambyr00 I use alt+f2 then run the commands. Pretty good for me :)
