Dash: Alt-F2 gives no indication it is any different to using Super

<Super> state: Search
<Alt><F2> states: Search command.

In the next release, the "Search command" entry will be really small (few pixels), with only the search entry, I think that will address it.

urgh, autotyping my assignee name :) Neil made the awesome re-sizable thing. Do not hesitate to reopen that bug if you find the difference not obvious then. :)
