I am looking for a consensus on what to call the Alt+F2 mode.

It seems that quite a few questions simply refer to it as Alt+F2 which is a bit clunky. Looking around I have also seen the following used:

 - Dash 'special mode' 
 - Run Dialog 
 - Run Application

As most of the answers I post are tailored to Unity I have been using **Dash Run** in [answers][1] since it made sense to me at the time of writing.
