Bug Description
In GNOME shell, pressing ALT-F2 doesn't do anything. It used to popup a run dialog, and I'm pretty sur it is supposed to still do that, but doesn't.

A workaround is to open System Settings and click Keyboard. Switch to the Shortcuts tab and select System. Change "Show the run command prompt" to Alt+F2.
Launchers>Launch Terminal should also be Ctrl+Alt+T. I don't know why these two settings aren't pre-configured properly; I've actually spent a good amount of time trying to understand what's broken but I haven't been able to figure it out.
