So i'm really loving the whole gnome-do/docky thing. My question is that on other docks, you can hold down a modifier key to launch a new instance rather then switching to an already opened instance of an app. So lets say I have chrome on the win7 dock

  • first click launches chrome
  • other clicks will focus the opened window
  • shift click will open a new instance of chrome
  • ctrl-shift-click will launch a new instance as admin

is there anything similar in docky?

No, they don't have such feature yet. But you can always do right-click and select "new window".

Note, that docky is currently splitting out of gnome-do, the version included in gnome-do actually is not supported anymore and no one is working on it. You might be better off installing separate version, although that one doesn't have feature in question either.

Not sure if it is something new but I just noticed that clicking the third button (wheel on the mouse) actually opens new instance. I'm running standalone docky from docky-core ppa.

thank you, worked for me! (clicking both left and right touchpad buttons = third mouse button) – nrhine1 Jan 27 '11 at 20:44
