Changing the Dash button to open a lens rather than shortcuts?

I would like to change the default Dash opening screen from shortcuts (the "Home" page) to the Applications lens. Or at least to rebind the super key to achieve that effect.


This is not possible in Unity, however, starting with 12.04, if you select a lens, that will be the lens that is shown every time you open the Dash (in the state you left it in), until you log out or restart.

Update:

While that was the intended behaviour, it does not work.
