Option to Disable Animated Images
Maybe this is hidden somewhere in Chrome settings, but I don't see it in Vivaldi's settings. It should probably be on the Images flyout on the Status Bar.
-
It would be nice to see more of the concepts explained in this article integrated into the newly designed history feature. Specifically the graph that shows how your history and search results are connected to each other.
-
Ability to hide both Horizontal Main Menu and Vivaldi Button or move Vivaldi button to another toolbar (address bar, panel).
When I move all bars to bottom there is only an empty row at the top of the browser.
-
New functionality for the new macbook pro retina (touch bar and force touch support).
-
@dLeon Loved this idea! Hope it is added soon.
-
@Jargonius This is just amazing! Would LOVE to have this incorporated in Vivaldi soon... Although this would make v1.7 quite redundant...
-
@Pesala I know that you might know already, but I can work with pressing Win+Down twice in Windows...
-
@Pesala Yeah, I find it quite annoying that the toolbar pops up when pressing f3...
-
Add the possibility of arbitrarily set time, when tabs on background will be hibernated.
-
I did some searching and apparently the only way is to use an extension.
-
Precising the current checkbox for showing tabs as thumbnail in settings page with suboptions that suggest predefined value such as 2/3 or 3/4 or 1/1 in height visible. This'd to memorise the height of the thumbnail and also suggests you can use small thumbnails.

@Isildur said in Feature requests for 1.8 / 1.9:
In address bar and Bookmarks manager search field, allow any-order keyword searching, instead of relying on exact substring matching to fetch bookmark and history entries for the dropdown.
Take for example, a page with the title "Old" Flexbox and "New" Flexbox | CSS-Tricks.
In Opera 12, if you visit that page or bookmark it, and type into Opera 12's address bar
old flex
, it brings up the page, but in Vivaldi only exact substrings match -- e.g. you must typeold" flex
, quotation mark included.Sometimes I find myself trying to remember an old, half-remembered bookmark and want to narrow the results by multiple keywords that I know appeared in the bookmark's title or description, but I don't always remember the full phrases, let alone punctuation. I'll sometimes deliberately add a list of keywords to a bookmark's description; back when I was using Opera 12 I could then call up the bookmark from the address bar by typing keywords in any order.
Note that the History manager search field in Vivaldi actually already does allow any-order keyword searching, although it currently requires you to hit a "Search history" button, rather than filtering as you type.
(Historical note: Opera 12 itself was a little inconsistent: The address bar and the history manager's search field were ok with words in any order, but the bookmark manager's search field did require an exact string match.)
As an update to this: With the new History manager introduced in snapshot 1.8.770.9, now even History does not allow any-order searching of words, and instead requires an exact phrase match. The new history manager is generally nice, but that's one aspect that's a step backward, IMO.

If extensions synchronization is a distant future, it would be good to at least have the feature of exporting the list of extension names into a text file. Or any other way to keep the names of all installed extensions in case computer crashes or you just reinstall the OS etc.
-
Export Bookmarks Filename to use Locale Date Format
- Default name is "bookmarks_3_7_17.html"
- Tomorrow it will be "bookmarks_3_8_17.html"
Not only does this not sort in the right order, it is not the date format we use in the UK. The date format should use the user's system date format, e.g. in my case:
- bookmarks_07_03_2017.html
- bookmarks_08_03_2017.html etc.,
-
Export Bookmarks Should Remember its Path
I would prefer to save always to my DropBox folder. Later, when/if we get an option to export all settings, that should do the same.
-
Include in-page actions in Quick Commands
It would be awesome to be able to launch links, click buttons or form controls, etc. from within the Quick Commands.

@Em-a-il @Guilimote
Sorry somehow I didn't saw your replies earlier.
"Ctrl+F11" is indeed not what I mean. Because I can't access the urlbar from this mode. To enter an url I have to use the quickcommand menu - which is fine so far but for me it is more like a workaround to enter urls (besides that it even behaves differently when you try to enter a valid url or try to trigger a search via searchengine shortcut in fullsscreen mode).With "F11" and "Ctrl+F11" you take away some parts of the gui --> "real fullscreen mode"
But when you only hide the controls outside the visible area an make them accessible via shortcut; mousegesture; hitting the upper border of your screen with the cursor to make them slide in they are still active. --> "Pseudo fullscreen mode"
- Pros: You can still access the sidepanel, urlbar, extensions and all shortcuts still work
- Cons: That all shortcuts still work might interfere with some videoplayers that use their own shortcuts
(workaround for such players could be to make a shortcuts to switch between real and pseudo fullscreen)

@Stardust I use and recommend autohotkey for this on Win10 - it works nicely! But to have it a browser integrated option would be even better!
autohotkey entry for every program that works with ctrl scroll to zoom:
;//// MOUSE ZOOMING ////// keep Mouse wheel pressed down (MButton) and scroll; for zooming
LButton & WheelUp::
Send ^{+} ;zoom one step in
returnLButton & WheelDown::
Send ^{-} ;zoom one step out
return ) -
Adding tab spaces and allowing cutting tab chain into parts on the fly with mouse
A example :
How the mouse could be used to suggest cutting ant repasting tab chains by bold lines :
- Natural, easy and quick basic order of tabs, specialy for thumbnailed tabs
- Complementary to stacked tabs
- Allow adding new tab after the chain that we want

Ah... that probably explains why I've been frustrated trying to search history recently!
