Brackets: Cannot open a new Brackets Instance (window) on Windows 10

[yahyazini]

Since there's no Open new window link under the file menu, the only way I used to open a new instance was by right clicking the Brackets icon on the task bar and do open. But since I upgraded to Windows 10 this would only take me to the already open window.

Is there a work around to fix this?

@yahyazini You could launch a new brackets window by choosing Debug > New Brackets Window.

I have an open issue #11504 about taskbar integration (right clicking the icon) ideas, including opeting a New Brackets Window if you have Windows native coding skills or if you happened to know someone who did and would be interested in contributing to this feature.

@nethip Thanks a lot for the tip. I didn't know that, it's not very intuitive.

@petetnt That's a brilliant idea.I'll share it with a couple of friends. Thanks.

Yeah, this is on the backlog (https://trello.com/c/YM0YySxX/679-multiple-separate-windows-official-new-window-command) but isn't planned yet. But definitely something we know we need to get to.

The Debug menu is not the best place to put that option. First, it is not clear this is most relevant to debugging. Second, most popular IDEs/editors put that in either the File or the Window menu.
