I am using the following command which acts as a run dialog using zsh:

urxvt +sb +ls -bg white -cr black -name run-dialog -title "run"
-geometry 80x10 \ -keysym.0xff0d " &\nexit\n" -keysym.0xff1b "^U
exit\n" -e zsh -git

Therefore, the enter key starts the specified command in the background
and then exits the shell, closing the window. Also, the Escape key
clears the line and then exits the shell, closing the window.

This provides a run dialog with zsh completion which is very useful if
you have tweaked your zsh config a lot.
