I was used to Alt-F2 in Xfce and it worked well and fast.
Since then I have installed Synapse from Deepin Store and it works nicely, even does more, although not as fast an it doesn't feel well integrated in the desktop (design). A secont alternative (and lighter one) I have tried is to install the Xfce App Finder by:
Copy the Code
It works by running:
Copy the Code
You may map the above command in Deepin Control Center key shortcut, in example Alt+F2. It works as expected, light and fast, not as featured as Synapse, and also not well integrated in the desktop (design). Anyway, my first request still stands: a custom command launcher/search box integrated in the Deepin Launcher, just click or key Launch and type away to run/search it.
Any other alternatives you have tried or prefer?

I reported the following issue/limitation with Deepin Feedback recently. I post it here for reference.--
Problem: Deepin Launcher only allows to start the listed applications. I can't run a custom command and command options.
Example: I have several skype profiles and I want to run several skype instances with different profiles. Skype can be started with the option--dbpath=
Request: Allow Deepin Launcher to run any custom command, in example when writing the name of the app to search and running it with custom options.Alternatively provide and extra app to popup in desktop (with keyboard shortcut: typically Alt+F2) and run a custom command.
