Easy one- click and hold on the Safari until the pop- up menu
appears, select "New Window" from the Dock. Your minimized page stays
in the Dock and a fresh browser window opens in front. For Text Edit,
cycle through your Open Apps (Command + Tab) until you get to Text
Edit (minimized window will not pop up from Dock), then hit "Command
+ N" and a fresh TextEdit document will open and minimized document
remains.
What was Mac thinking? If I park my car momentarily out on the
street so I can clean out the
carport, I don't want it relocating itself back into the garage;
I'm not sure that analogy is valid, but then again, I haven't had any
coffee yet, today.
I want it
to stay out on the street till I decide its time to be moved back
into the garage. Same deal with browser pages and text edit
pages. Stay where I parked you; till I decide to move you.
The alternative was having a bunch of open pages either window shaded
up or cluttering the Desktop. I'm not sure Dock is perfect, but in my
case it solves more aggravating situations than it creates. If you
utilize the tips I provided above, it will do what you describe.
I miss window shades.
WindowShade X will do this for you.
