How to open Unity's Alt+F2 dialog when hitting top-right corner?

Question

I want to open the Alt+F2 run dialog when I hit the top-right corner like in this answer, but I need another command to do it (I have already installed xdotool and xmacro).

Install xdotool.
Install compizconfig-settings-manager.
Open ccsm and click the Commands button (not the tick in front of it).

warning - please see this question and to why you should be careful if using CCSM

ccsm

Go to the Commands tab and copy-paste this line into an empty box:

xdotool key alt+F2

Go to the Edge bindings tab and click the button labeled None next to the corresponding command number.
