Minor Dash UI improvement suggestion: middle click icons

Asked by Rich Smith

A minor suggestion that should be easy to implement but would make life slightly better: there should be a way to open applications/documents from the dash without immediately closing the dash.

I suggest middle-click should open the target without closing or losing focus of the dash. This is analagous to middle-clicking in a browser to open up a page in the background.

This would be useful if you want to open more than one program for a task or if you just get distracted by the many programs offered by the dash when you have a goal in mind.

Is there a better place to submit these suggestions?
