Running Webstorm.exe - Open a new instance instead of focusing the existing one.
Is it possible to have Webstorm bring up a fresh instance upon running its executable, rather than focusing the current one? Perhaps some commandline arg?
Thank you in advance.

you can't run several WebStorm instances, as they can't access their caches concurrently... So, any attempt to run a new instance results in shutting the process down.
If you really need running 2 instances at the same time, you can install WebStorm to a different folder and specify a different configuration and caches directories for it (https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEABKL-5934#comment=27-182509).
Follow the instructions at: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/207240985-Changing-IDE-default-directories-used-for-config-plugins-and-caches-storage
Main steps:
1. Install WebStorm to a different location.
2. Change idea.properties file for this installation (Help | Edit Custom Properties…). Remove comments for these properties:
idea.config.pathidea.system.pathidea.plugins.pathidea.log.pathAfter that you will be able to run two instances of WebStorm at the same time.
