Feature requests for 1.9 / 1.10

Wrong naming of key shortcuts - 'Next tab (recent)' and 'Previous tab (recet)' are switched (I've got 'Cycle in tab order' selected).

Autocompletion should suggest most common url from history (with main pages taking priority over subpages).

@hondac Don't think this colouring is necessary, but RegEx search could be nice.

Different keyboard shortcuts to go through tabs with or without Tab Cycler (I like to use Tab Cycler for right click+scroll but I don't use it for "normal" tab switching (pressing 2 or Ctrl+Tab)).

Edit: What I even more love about this in O12 is that switching tabs actually ignores tabs that are within a stack (tab group) when this is not expanded. I'd wish for such functionality here as well.

Current tab-zoom options are rather strict. I would like to have tab zoom, but I would still like to have a different default zoom level for a certain website. In the current options, this is impossible. You either use tab zoom, which means that once you close the tab (google.com) when you open another google it gets reset to 100% instead of a default of say 150%. Or you do NOT use tab zoom, in which case google.com is always stuck at 150% in all tabs. What I'm looking for is that if I change from 100%, that should be the default. Other tabs of google.com should open at 150% until I change the setting. The default value should remain that of the first opened tab. Only changing that value will change the default for when the browser starts again.

I typed a long post in FaceBook messenger (via their website). I locked my computer. When I was back, all text was gone. Not only is this a rather serious bug, but I realized that I'm missing a feature that was awesome in Opera: many times the browser would be able to restore the contents of a text field even after accidentally closing the tab, navigating away or browser crash. I would love for this feature to make a comeback.

@dLeon No, it is not. I want this behaviour (be able to both show the cycler and not show it) when switching tabs: https://webmshare.com/g8o6y

In O12: Cycle to next page (which I think is more comfortable with mouse usage) vs. Switch to next page (which I prefer for keyboard usage)

Easier way to access sessions

Show list of saved sessions in separate sessions menu under Vivaldi button
Show list of saved sessions in quick commands when typing 'session'
Show named sessions in address bar dropdown similar to bookmarks

Right click on tab bar > 'save open tabs as session'
'save selected tabs as session' if multiple tabs selected

edit: Remember last used state of 'open session in new window' or have default value as a setting

Customizing Default Download Location by File Extension

Instead of having a single default download location, I'd like to be able to customize it by file extension. So the images could go straight to my Pictures folder, videos to Video, music to Music, etc etc. This should include The ability to arbitrarily add locations for different file extensions, preferably as something where you just add another line to add a new extension and location.

@kyu3a
IF you do this, and I'm very much in favor of it, then PLEASE, please include one more control: buttons/keystrokes that to move back/ahead by a few seconds. Ideally, I'd be able to set the keys and the number of seconds to shift ahead/back..

Drag and drop tabs / tab groups directly into notes panel to create new note with link[s].

Open nickname in new tab when holding shift key

Forbid websites to capture keyboard strokes when no form is focused.

When going to websites such as google.com or fedex.com, I cannot use my single key shortcuts anymore when not disabling javascript as my input just gets taken by the website instead of vivaldi (in case of fedex, I can press somewhere on the side and then execute exactly one single key shortcut before this is prevented again). Although I am in favour of disabling javascript by default, other functionality may be affected so this should not be the only possible solution.

@jumpsq That is already available.

@Pesala As far as I know it is just possible always to open nicknames in new tabs via the "Open Pages in New Tab" settings for Quick Commands?!

jumpsq

@dLeon I like it, although there should be consistency with the behaviour of the address bar (ctrl+shift+enter opens links in background tab), or just (and preferably) user-configurable settings.
But obviously this would not work for nicknames with Enter, so those could not be opened in such various ways I guess (you cannot type anything when pressing ctrl or alt, and using these keys triggers other commands, at least for now)

@jumpsq said in Feature requests for 1.9 / 1.10:

What's happening to you is that a "form" element (the search input element in google.com's case and a textarea in fedex.com's case) is being given focus.

Vivaldi devs would have to do one or both of the following to fix the issue:

Prevent any keypress from being passed on to the webpage if it matches a Vivaldi single-key shortcut (and no text input element is focused).
or
Add a toggled option in Settings to disallow the javascript function HTMLElement.focus() (and maybe the option should disable HTML5 autofocus attribute as well).

Many websites need to either (A) respond to any keypresses, or (B) be able to set keyboard focus to an input field.

Currently, if a page is just doing A, a key-press can trigger both a Vivaldi single-key shortcut and do some action on the webpage. (Which probably isn't what the user intended, hence why I suggest #1.) It's when they do B as the result of A that one sees the disabling of Vivaldi shortcuts like the examples you gave.

E.g. on Fedex.com, what's happening is that they've set a keyboard event listener function that on keypress, sets the focus to the textarea element of the "Ask FedEx" support chatbot panel (that can be shown if you click on the "Ask FedEx" button on the right), so Vivaldi isn't responding to subsequent single-key shortcuts due to Vivaldi's deliberate behavior of activating single-key shortcuts while a text input areas is focused. (That's actually a bit of bad coding on fedex.com's part. The javascript function $(document).on("keypress.vzkeydetector", function(event){...} should check whether the panel is even open, before assigning focus to the $(".nw_UserInputField") textarea .)

Option to Hide Icons on Speed Dial Thumbnails

The icons are useful while setting up speed dials, but once the task is finished they are just a distraction. Clicking Delete or Refresh in error will make unnecessary work to recover a speed dial from trash, or to reselect a custom thumbnail.

All features are available from the right-click context menu, so none of the icons are essential.

cloud you please add an option to download files to cloud ( drive,drophbox)

Also, it's common for me to accidentally close Main window, forgetting there's a Session window open. In that scenario, I lose all my open tabs because Vivaldi doesn't distinguish the main window from a saved session window.
I suggest Vivaldi distinguishes the main window from the session window AND offers to overwrite the open session upon closing, because it doesn't offer the existing sessions list to be saved over.
