I just want a Windows 7 behavior where clinking the icon cycles through all the windows. I know about Alt+` (Tilde) and Alt+Tab clicking the icon is just more intuitive.

You can do

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

    That works... sadly no more Click to Minimize. It would be nice if you could Minimize when there is one window open and Cycle-windows when there are 2 or more. Oh well... thank you.

If you mean Enabling Click to Minimize (minimize the window when clicking on the icon) as shown in the gif photo:

enter image description here

It is simple, you can do that by running the following command in your terminal:

gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock click-action 'minimize' 

If you do not like ‘click to minimize’ behavior, you can set it back to default using the command below:

gsettings reset org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock click-action

  • No I meant if I had two office files open and I clicked the icon so it cycles between them (it's a windows7 behavior). I have Click to Minimize enabled.

  • Well then, you will not be able to minimize on click the icons :/

I know the question is tagged ubuntu-dock* but if you are using the Dash to Panel extension you can find a similar setting in Tweaks > Extensions > Dash to panel > Behaviour > Click Action > Set to Cycle through windows.

* the title is broad and Google may pick this up as a search

Install dconf-editor by

Goto /org/gnome/shell/extensions/dash-to-dock and change click-action to cycle-windows
