Re: Double-click on application in wmdock does not launch the application if one instance is already running

I'd like to chime in with following notes and 
queries:

1) Ctrl+DblClick is rather weird-looking 
feature, way out of what's commonly expected in 
2015.

Not a good usability, too. One time you open the 
item by a single-click, and in another context 
(suddenly) you have to use something completely 
different? Your penguin may explode.

I just checked -- yes, even with 'single click 
activation' you still have to use DblClick with 
Ctrl. That's why I generally open instances off 
the popup menu and shun Dock/Clip completely -- 
the menu functions in an expected manner.

2) How problematic would it be to add 
_additional_ Click/DblClick for _indiscriminate_ 
opening of an instance?

2.1) Or add it as an alternative?

2.2) Without breaking the things for guys used 
to Ctrl+DblClick behaviour, too, of course.
