Request for adding "Run" facility to the tablet as well as phone, just like PCs.

As we all are very familiar with the "Run" application in Windows PCs, won't it be nice and useful for availing that in Jolla Tablet and Smartphone?? I'd like to suggest an idea to add it. If it'll be standardized with a swipe from LEFT UPPER CORNER, no matter what is running on the screen, it'll give a nice feature to access the desired app as quickly as possible for those who don't want to waste their time for swiping multiple times to finally run an app. It'll be extremely useful for the people like me who love to have a lot of apps to bring the most out of the computer devices they use. If you people working at Jolla will even have a 5 minute talk among you on this topic, I'll think that I've got everything to feel satisfied. Thank you.
There's Quick Launcher in the Jolla store, is that the kind of functionality you're looking for? Obviously it doesn't have the ability to be launched from anywhere with the quick swipe you suggest. The best you can probably do at the moment is add it to the multitask screen bottom four apps, then it's only a swipe-tap away.
