The strange thing is:
There is a difference between left click with mouse and hitting the 
return key! Just as the user calebtom87 reported here 
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/440/workspace-separation-on-dash/ ...

If you are interested: Steps to reproduce:

1. Install 
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/440/workspace-separation-on-dash/ 
(if you're not running Gnome-Shell 3.4 you can try this version with 
increased compatibility in metadata.json: 
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/12168886/gnome-shell/workspace_separation_on_dash%40bazonbloch.arcor.de.zip 
)

2. Open e.g. gedit on first workspace

3. Change to second or any other workspace

4. Hit super and start typing "gedit"

5. (a) Click gedit with your mouse. Result: A new instance of gedit is 
opened on your current workspace, just as overwritten by the "workspace 
separation on dash" extension. (in function _onActivate(event))

5. (b) Hit Return while gedit is focussed. Result: You are taken back to 
the opened instance of gedit on the first workspace, so the overwritten 
function in "workspace separation on dash" isn't used.

So my question, in order to fulfill the user request:
What can I do to make case 5(b) like case 5(a)....


thanks
