this is the correct list for krunner discussion :)

we can't get rid of alt+f2 because of people being used to it. the remaining 
issue it making sure other things don't conflict with alt+space. e.g. 
multibyte input is often keyed to <something>+space and i always forget what 
it is (meta? ctrl?). if we can clear alt+space as "free to use" then we can 
bind both alt+f2 and alt+space to krunner. it's a one-liner patch.

can you do the necessary research to ensure there isn't any usage out there of 
alt+space (besides launchers)?
