Krunner equivalent in XFCE?

Question

I like Krunner, but nowadays I prefer to use XFCE instead of KDE. Is there any XFCE app that is equivalent or similar to Krunner?

+1 I use gmrun in LXDE (instead of lxpanelctl run), and it's great: list of completions and remember old commands. – enzotib Feb 03 '12 at 06:54

Very old post, but anyway:

Whisker Menu - the now default Xfce menu launcher, can find only applications (that is .desktop files created in usr/local/share/applications and ~/.local/share/applications), but not files & folders, like krunner can.
Synapse - not Xfce-specific, but probably the best launcher anyway, at least for a gtk environment, meets up the krunner standards. To start it with just the Super key, follow this answer.
