[FEATURE] taskbar: provide "new instance" mouse click option for pinned applications #3708

Submission checklist

  • I have searched existing issues and confirmed this has not been requested before.
  • I have checked existing pull requests for similar changes.

New functionality

Feature summary

The taskbar now supports pinned application.

I would like Super+Left-Mouse-Click to always launch new instances of the pinned application.

Motivation / use case

Left mouse click launches a new instance of a pinned application if it has not already been launched.
Middle click closes a launched application.
Right mouse click opens a menu where usually one of the options is "new instance".

Using right mouse click and then scroll down to "new instance" is cumbersome.

I would like a quicker way to launch multiple instances of the same pinned application.

Proposed solution

I assume Super+Left-Mouse-Click will not clash with anything.

Alternatives considered

I already have global hot-keys to launch my most common application, but sometimes I am lazy and would simply like to use the mouse to spawn new instances of the pinned application.
