Is there a global shortcut to open an incognito window of Chrome?
I know that there is ctrl+shift+n but that only works in the context of Chrome – not while in other applications.
I also know that you can drag the order of the applications in the task bar and then use win+1 (to 9) in order to switch the focus to that application. Playing around with the keyboard, I've also noticed that you can open a window, too, with win+shift+1 … but that's not incognito. (win+ctrl+1 opens the application in admin mode – which is a nice discovery but also not what I'm looking for)
I'm searching for a solution that
doesn't involve the mouse and
doesn't mess with my alt+tab order,
preferably involving the task bar (but that's optional).
What about creating a shortcut of Chrome, in properties append chrome --incognito into target textbox and assign a shorcut key?
I've got two solutions – but they're more like workarounds than solutions:
(1) win+alt+1 opens the taskbar context menu (I think it's also called "jump menu") and from there I can select it with ↓.
(2) I can also open the "Run" window by pressing win+r and then type chrome --incognito the first time // hit enter on subsequent times.
But can anyone find something better?

Chrome allows to set multiple tabs as home - that is very helpful. But sometimes, one just wants to quickly open a chrome window to quickly google a question, without all preset tabs opening. Is there a command line option to open without opening any preset tabs that could be used to create a second link? So that on my desktop I would have open chrome with hometabs open and open chrome without any tabs open?
Delete file "Local State" that you can find in C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data
Open Chrome, it will ask if you want to restore previous tabs: DO NOT yet
Open Chrome Task Manager (More Tools menu)
Restore previous tabs (History menu)
Kill the Mo*herfu**er tab that is hijacking your Chrome using Chrome Task Manager
WARNING: This doesn't work unless you have some tabs open already!
If you are on Windows 7-8 you can right click on the Chrome icon in the Taskbar and click "New Window"/"New Incognito Window", not sure about Linux or Mac though or older versions of Windows.
I wasn't able to see a command line switch that seemed to match your requirements, had a quick search here: http://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/
On a mac, you can...
"Force Quit" Chrome/Chromium. (One way is to right/two-finger-click the icon in the App Bar, then hold the alt-key down, choose Force Quit.)
You will be asked to report or ignore, just choose ignore.
Restart Chrome/Chromium. It will either start with only an empty window, or ask if you want to reopen the previous session.

Today I noticed I was getting an AJAX loaded "Shopping Assistant" in my Google Search results:
This isn't a Google thing from what I can tell, looks like I have some spyware in my Chrome browser. Anybody know how to remove? (not listed in the Extension)
In my case it was Translate selection 1.2 addon.
Try to open a console (f12 or ctrl+shift+i) into a simple page (that is not chrome store or start page) and start disabling extensions one by one then refresh the page.
This is how it looks like when the thing is still on.
This is a spyware that comes with Flash Video Downloader extension in chrome. UnInstall Flash Video downloader that should get rid of this.
I found the same malware in Translate Selection 1.3 extension. It seems that Chrome Web Store is full of complaints about the problem: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/translate-selection/goanabmlmgfinmjohhepcpffcnkeobjm/reviews.
If you have Superfish WindowShopper extension installed, perform following steps:
Click the Chrome menu on the browser toolbar, select Tools and then click on Extensions.
In the Extensions tab, remove (by clicking on the Recycle Bin) the Superfish WindowShopper extension.
The BetterChrome extension also contains this. Uncheck "Enable SuperFish Suggestions" in the BeterChrome options.

How can I start Google Chrome with dev tools open at startup? I need that because I want to have 'simulate touch events' from the dev tools settings page enabled when I start Chrome. Any ideas? Is there an .ini file for Chrome where one can set a flag or something?
Realize that this is a bit late, but;
When opening the dev-tools settings menu, right next to the "Enable" override checkbox, there is another checkbox saying "Enable on DevTools startup".
Checking this will enable the selected overrides by default when opening the DevTools window.
Hope it helps!

Edit on 20190109. Just to clarify some thinks.
1. This is quite an old question, closed and yes off-topic (and also kind of a xy-problem question), still if you feel like it go on and down-vote it, I couldn't care less.
2. When I posted the question I wasn't aware of Electron and the solution it provides to my original requirement (and not the work around I am asking on this question).
I was wondering if i could change some things in my chrome with an extension, so when i press..
1) the windows button + D
2) or the minimize button
3) or the "Show Desktop" button in windows 7
..a part of chrome would still be visible, to be more specific i want to turn to a state of "always on top" the 1) tab bar
2) the address bar
3) and the bookmark bar
so is it possible to "split" an application like chrome in two "pieces" and somehow change its visibility in one of those "pieces"? any ideas are welcomed!
The easiest way to achieve this, in my thought, is combine a third-party program with a chrome extension.
For example, if you are under windows, you can use a program like Window On Top by Skybn. This program uses the Ctrl+F8 hotkey to toggle always on top window state, then you make an extension wich manipulate the browser window position and dimensions using the same hotkey.
To get the chrome window on top of screen with only tabs, adress and boookmarks, you can use something like this:
chrome.windows.getCurrent(function(window){
chrome.windows.update(window.id,{top:0,left:0,width:screen.width,height:100})
});

I installed Vimium for my Chrome browser to use but I noticed that Chrome shortcut keys take higher priority.
For instance, if I try <C-u>, instead of scrolling a page up, I see the source code of the page.
How can I configure Chrome or Vimium to use Vimium shortcuts rather than built-in Chrome shortcuts?
You currently cannot map any default Chrome shortcut keys defined already. That is unfortunately one limitation of Google Chrome Extensions API. The Extension team is familiar with such restrictions, and they have it on their queue for future APIs.
In the meantime, try to pick a shortcut that doesn't conflict.
Hope that kinda helped.
Actually David's answer should work somehow. Some may misunderstood, these commands are added in Vimium's Options Settings.
By the way, if you want to add and as scrolling full page up and down, just add the following in the "Custom Key Mapping":
unmap <c-f>
map <c-f> scrollFullPageDown
unmap <c-b>
map <c-b> scrollFullPageUp
This works for me. Enjoy!
First unmap the previous shortcut,
unmap <C-u>
map <C-u> scrollPageDown
