Bug Description
I remapped arrows to (windows key + hjkl). When I launch ubuntu unity dash and press arrow down I can navigate between app suggestions. Sadly it doesn't work with my remapped arrow key (e.g. when I press winkey+j I don't move down). My remapped arrows work well with other apps like chrome browser.
Way I remapped my arrow:
# 134 - keycode of right cmd
xmodmap -e "clear mod4"
xmodmap -e "keycode 134 = ISO_Group_Shift" # mode_switch, third and fourth column of keysym
xmodmap -e "add mod4 = Super_L" # readd back left_cmd as super
xmodmap -e "keysym h = h H Left Left"
xmodmap -e "keysym j = j J Down Down"
xmodmap -e "keysym k = k K Up Up"
xmodmap -e "keysym l = l L Right Right"

I am having the same issue. I have done my remapped in a slightly different way, substituting the relevant lines in X11/xkb/ symbols/ br (I use a Brazilian layout) for
/usr/share/
key <AC07> { [ h, H, Left, Left ] };
key <AB03> { [ j, J, Down, Down ] };
key <AB04> { [ k, K, Up, Up ] };
key <AD10> { [ l, L, Right, Right ] };
key <SPCE> { [ space, space, Right, Right ] };
Outside of Unity dash, AltGr+H/J/K/L gives me the arrows keys.
