Bug 61758

"Execute command" is not for usual command execution. It executes command 
and directs it's output to an active editor window. So this isn't unnecessary 
feature. 
By the way, you don't have to vote 20 times for your bugs. 

I'm sorry 19 times but I must hold my position !

I find this dialog highly counter-intuitive, and I can't believe that I am the
only one. The window caption ("gideon" ??) does not reflect the fact that the
dialog is meant to insert the result of the command into the editor ! This is an
obfuscated feature ! ;-)

This feature can indeed be useful, but with at least some more "clues" for the
users.

What's more, there isn't anything to prevent from inserting a lot of garbage
into the editor (what if I type ls /usr/bin or cat *.cpp ?) 

An embedded konsole, with a window to see the result of the command would be in
fact more appropriate.

Added tooltips for actions and captions for dialogs.

This is better ;-)
