Then I can switch between them with Alt-` like between any other windows belonging to the same application. This isolates buffers I open in one of them to just that instance, which I can close using 'C-x C-c' when I don't need them anymore. The same doesn't work in macOS. Not only does Ctrl-click do something else (and Cmd-click, and Option-click), but on the odd occasion that the new instance gets launched from an external app (I somehow got it associated with *.xml files in Finder), it uses a separate spot on the dock, not the same one (it also opens two frames at one for some reason). Could this scenario become supported? Ctrl-clicking currently shows a menu that includes "New Frame". Could it have a "New Instance" item as well? And group different processes under the same icon, with quick switching with Cmd-`.
