In OS X (Snow Leopard), I find that for web browsers and terminals, whenever I click the dock icon, it opens the existing window, not open a new one.
Is there any way to modify the behaviour so that clicking these dock icons always opens a new window, instead of having to navigate the command-click menu?

I don't know if it's so easy to modify the default behavior, but an option would be to create a launcher that will always open a new window. Downside is, you'll have the same icon twice. Would that be a viable workaround for you?

I'm not sure about Witch or Dock replacements. AFAIK, there's no such configuration for the standard Dock. Or any hidden modifier-click for opening a new window or anything. – Lri – 2011-07-28T11:55:54.780
