xmodmap arrowkeys are not working in unity dash

[vinay]

using ubuntu 11.10;

I am using remapped arrow keys (using xmodmap).
The mapping is :
CapsLock -> Mode Switch
h - left, l - right, j - down, k - up
Which means pressing [capslock] and [j] together
gives me the same functionality as pressing [down] arrow key.

However in unity dash, this doesnt seem to work.
I am unable to navigate through the options listed by dash
using my remapped arrow keys.

For example in dash, typing "fir" and
by pressing some [down] arrows i can reach firefox.
The same is not possible with my remapped keys.

thank you
:)

I have the same problem. I want to use my Xmodmapped arrow keys (Alt+j, k, l, i) in my OS but it wont work in Dash and workspace switcher. But it verywell works in unity launcher and all the Xwindows. Also when I use java applications like IntelliJ IDEA, the xmodmap keys wont work. Please help.
Thanks

It is working well in Unity 2d.

Thank you for your bug report, could you try if that's still an issue in precise as well?

Tried the same on a fresh install of 12.04. Problem still remains :(
