How to make the Dash Button go straight to the Applications menu?

When I click the Dash Home button on the left bar near the top it opens a window up with the home tab by default, how can i change it to the applications tab by default instead ?.

I'm using 12.04


You can either:

  • Right-click the Dash Home button and select "Applications" from its quicklist.
  • Use the Super-A keyboard shortcut.
  • Patch the lp:unity codebase to open the dash to unity-lens-applications.

As of 12.04 LTS, there is no configuration option to change launcher click behavior.
