The script aims to replicate a Windows-like behavior for clicking on dock icons in macOS.
When one (1) app Window:
- When an app is open but minimized, clicking its dock icon will unminimize and bring the app window to the front (native in both macOS and Windows).
- When an app is open, frontmost and not minimized, clicking its dock icon will minimize the app window (native only in Windows).
- When an app is open but not frontmost, clicking it's dock icon will bring the latest app window to front (native in both macOS and Windows).
- When an app is not open, clicking its dock icon will launch the app (native in both macOS and Windows).
When more than one (1) app Window:
- For apps with multiple windows open, clicking the dock icon bring last window to the front.
This behavior is not native to macOS. By default on Mac, clicking a dock icon of a minimized app does not unminimize it, it's unhidden. The script aims to make the dock behavior more similar to the Windows taskbar, where a single click toggles the window state with the Minimize action.
