Is there anyway in Ubuntu 18.04 to right click a dock icon to get a list of the open windows from that program, right now I have to click 'All windows' to get to this list - which is hugely annoying as I do this hundreds of times per session.

Is there also a way to loop through the windows of the application by scrolling the mouse wheel over the icon?

These 2 features, along with the global menu and HUD are really killing my workflow with 18.04 since Unity has gone :(

Feature 1, having the previews opened immediately upon right-clicking the application icon, is not available. Hopefully, a future version will allow for the previews to be immediately expanded on right-click. You can however change the left click, or shift+click or middle-click actions to show the previews, as outlined in the accepted answer of this Askbuntu question.

Feature 2, having the dock cycle windows when you scroll on the application's icon, can be enabled as per this Askbuntu question by changing a dconf setting:

gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock scroll-action 'cycle-windows'

You may also change panel setting in dconf-editor, which is not installed by default.

Install Tweaks and Dash to Panel from the Ubuntu Store. From Tweaks, enable the Dash to Panel extension and click on the gear icon to allow you to customize your panel to your liking.

  • Hey this is great! Didn't know dash to panel did this. I wish they'd implement it on hover instead of click. – Matt West Feb 01 '19 at 16:51
