Whenever I click on Nauitlus (Home) icon

enter image description here with one opened window, it always opens new rather than showing me opened ones. Is there any tweak for this?

Since shift-clicking did not work for me I searched and found another solution.

Workaround mentioned in the corresponding bug report: Scroll the mouse wheel on the Nautilus icon.

I suggest you press shift key with clicking. with shift key, you can open new window. and with wheel scrolling, you can switch opened instances without new window.

I think that it's very easy, and It's a function of Unity.

You can see the additional information at What are Unity's keyboard and mouse shortcuts?.

    Pressing Shift does the exact opposite, and opens a new instance/new window instead of switching to the open one.

  • I could not understand it, when you access any folders other than HOME, it'll open new window. Jun 4, 2015 at 17:21
