I need multiple calculators at the same time. But when I click on the calculator icon it just refers to the one that is already opened.
How can I do this in Ubuntu 18.04?

@Terrance this isn't specific to 18.04, there's no need for that tag.

@Terrance the question isn't only for the OP - the site's aim is to have a library of questions that outlive their use for just the OP. If they mentioned their version in the Q, that's enough. Since you say there already is an answer covering 16.04, why make this specific to 18.04? And of course there's the question linked by pomsky, which is for 17.10, so this is a problem that's known to span multiple releases (probably any GNOME Shell-based system in the past 2-3 years).

@muru I have removed my comments. You are correct about the version tag here. This had nothing to do with the version of Ubuntu. Please forgive me! I did more research into this, and it turns out that this has to do with the version of gnome-calculator itself and when they implemented certain features for it. It actually has less to do with the OS itself.

My answer here has only been tested in Ubuntu 18.04 with gnome-calculator version 3.28.0 and does not apply to older versions of Ubuntu / gnome-calculator which I don't have access to the app to verify. However, in the NEWS of the source file for gnome-calculator it states:
Overview of changes in gnome-calculator 3.23.1
* Add new window appmenu entry bgo#724478 (Robert Roth)
So, my guess would be that any version newer than the version listed above the keyboard combination below should have worked fine.
You can try Ctrl+N for New Window which should keep opening new instances. If not you can follow below:
Once in the gnome-calculator app, you should be able to click the icon in the upper left corner and choose New Window which will open another instance of the calculator:
In the GNOME Desktop, the app menu is on the bar, but it is the same way to launch multiple calculators. Click on Calculator in the top bar and choose New Window:
Hope this helps!

It seems it's an intentional implementation by the developers. Almost all other applications provide an option to open a new window in the context menu (right-click menu) in Ubuntu dock while an instance is running and you can assign this option to mouse-middle-click, but Calculator application in particular doesn't provide the option at all!
As a hacky workaround you may try the following.
- Copy the launcher for Calculator (probably named
org.gnome.Calculator.desktop) from/usr/share/applications/and paste to~/.local/share/applications/. - Open the copied file using a text editor.
Look for a line beginning with
Actions=. If there is one, appendnew-instance;to it. Otherwise add the following lineActions=new-instance;Append the following lines to the end of the file and save it.
[Desktop Action new-instance]
Name=New instance
Exec=gnome-calculatorRe-login just to be sure.
Now when you have Calculator running, if you right click on its icon in the dock, you should see a "New instance" option.
Click on the New instance option, it should launch another Calculator.

This will work for any application, including a version of gnome-calculator which does not have a "New Window" option (like mine: v3.22.3-1).

It seems this doesn't work with the calculator application (both snap and apt versions) on Ubuntu 18.04, but works on Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 (v3.18).

It's a change to gnome-calculator. See my answer.

It seems this doesn't work with the calculator application (both snap and apt versions) on Ubuntu 18.04, but works on Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 (v3.18).

@pomsky: interesting. I wonder whether that is a GNOME change or something Ubuntu have patched in.

It's a change to gnome-calculator. See my answer.

Press the super key (to bring up the Activities overview), start typing in the name of the application you want until it is selected, then press Ctrl+Enter.
This will work for any application, including a version of gnome-calculator which does not have a "New Window" option (like mine: v3.22.3-1).

@pomsky: This looks like a merge candidate. I raised a mod flag.

@Terrance this isn't specific to 18.04, there's no need for that tag.

@Terrance the question isn't only for the OP - the site's aim is to have a library of questions that outlive their use for just the OP. If they mentioned their version in the Q, that's enough. Since you say there already is an answer covering 16.04, why make this specific to 18.04? And of course there's the question linked by pomsky, which is for 17.10, so this is a problem that's known to span multiple releases (probably any GNOME Shell-based system in the past 2-3 years).

@muru I have removed my comments. You are correct about the version tag here. This had nothing to do with the version of Ubuntu. Please forgive me! I did more research into this, and it turns out that this has to do with the version of gnome-calculator itself and when they implemented certain features for it. It actually has less to do with the OS itself.
