Earlier this week, I've shown you how to activate specific windows using their numbers. As you may recall, hitting Win+Number runs the application for that spot on the taskbar, or switches to it if it's already running. But what if it's already running and you want to run a new instace? Well, it turns out that's possible by hitting Win+Shift+number! This sequence would run the program for that taskbar spot again, even if it's already running. And if you like using the mouse, you can get the same result by middle-clicking the application's icon.
Come back tomorrow for the next keyboard tip, or, if you'd like to read a whole bunch at once, check out Sebastian's epic list.
