Ubuntu – Gnome dash to dock extension minimize when you click, instead of shift+click

dockgnomegnome-shellgnome-shell-extension

My system is Ubuntu gnome 16.04 release (gnome 3.18 shell).

I am using Dash to Dock extension. When i click to any minimized programs (i click dock icon) it opens its windows as we want. However when i re-click to dock icon of any actually opened windows it doesn't minimize the opened program.

When i checked this out on the dash to dock's settings, to "minimize the windows" you have to do shift+click action. This "extra shift action" useless for me and i want to change it to simply click action.

How can i add this feature to dash to dock extension?

In Tweak Tool > Extensions > Dash to Dock > [little gear icon settings thing] > Behaviour, you can customise what the Click and Shift+Click actions do for any icon in the dock.

Ubuntu – Use Gnome dash-to-dock without autohide

If you want to see the dock at all times.. here is the workaround..

Don't turnoff the Auto-hide feature as you mentioned in the Question.

locate the dash-to-dock extension direcotry, it could be either in $HOME/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ or /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/

open the file intellihide.js, in my case it is

$HOME/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/dash-to-dock@micxgx.gmail.com/intellihide.js

at line number 105 (this._isEnabled = true;) # Change the value to false

enable: function() {
    this._isEnabled = false;
    this._status = OverlapStatus.UNDEFINED;
    global.get_window_actors().forEach(function(wa) {
        this._addWindowSignals(wa);
    }, this);
    this._doCheckOverlap();
},

save the file & close.
refresh the gnome-shell with Alt+F2 type r and press Enter
