It's just one of the many things I've been helping work on inside of Windows for the last year. It's not much, but it's honest work. People really hate when you just update visuals but break existing behavior, and we spent a decent amount of effort making sure that we did everything that the old dialog did.

It also low-key builds on a bunch of the work that we did with the Command Palette in #PowerToys. We used a lot of the learnings from #CmdPal to help build Run - and we're taking those learning back out to PowerToys too.

@ecn I can't imagine that it doesn't Just Work. I cannot stress this enough - the code for "give me a list of suggestions" and "run this commandline" were both lifted _verbatim_ into the new one. I'd much rather copy-paste code that I know works well, rather than try to poorly recreate it and miss something.
(i say this as someone who just 6 months ago tried to poorly recreate it and missed tons)
