> The other Ubuntu regression which annoys me to no end and again is the same in OSX is that clicking on a dock icon when you are in a workspace and there is an instance of the app opened in another workspace makes you automatically jump to the other one instead of opening a new instance in the current workspace.
If you middle click the icon it will open a new one instead of taking you to an existing one.
- BenoitEssiambre 14y agoI didn't know that. Thanks for the tip. However, since I set my middle button to go to the workspace switcher there's a conflict. I just tried it and it does open a new instance _and_ go to the switcher which is not great. Also most of the time if there is already an app window in the workspace, I would want it to be made visible not a new instance to be opened.

Similarly if you use a keyboard shortcut to open your icons (like Win+1 to open the first icon) holding shift while pressing the shortcut will open a new window (Shift+Win+1 will open a new window for the first icon).
