Feature requests for 1.9 / 1.10

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:

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.

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.

g_bartsch

@mrmeireles I currently run 4 windows in each Vivaldi session. When I close Vivaldi I use File>Exit. This saves everything for the next start.

I would like a confirmation question each time we close a window to prevent losing the tabs contained in it.

Hi @ everybody, can we reply to the post I made for poiting out Bookmarks concerns and upvote? that's a critical section in the browser improvement.

have a nice day.

When using the "Quick Commands" function, click with middle or right mouse button on a tab to close it.

A popup to rename tab stacking group

I noted that when there is many tabs and you wanna rename a tab stacking group you can't see what you are typying because the amount of tabs then i think the best way would appear any popup for renaming.

This has already been implemented in the latest snapshot.

jumpsq

Escape to exit from downloads dialog ("Cancel").

Pesala

@jumpsq Tab, Tab, Tab, Enter can currently be used. Escape would be much better.

jumpsq

@kisunssi See for work around: https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/140029
(requires tab marking and context menu click)

But yes, clearly needed.

jumpsq

Always handle "Save" as "Save as" when downloading something. There is no need for 4 buttons.

jumpsq

Don't change a name of a file if another file with the same name already exists when downloading.

// I'm talking of this "filename (1).suffix". The space makes it even worse, but also without the space this is really not what I want my my files to look like. This may be fine for when just opening, but when I download something, it would be much more likely that I would just want to overwrite an older version or something alike

Pesala

@jumpsq Save As is needed so that you can save files in folders other than Downloads (or your default folder for downloads). What is really need is as I requested earlier:

@Pesala said in Feature requests for 1.9 / 1.10:

MIME Type Support

jumpsq

@Pesala As I wrote: "save as" should be the default behaviour. I see no reason for the "save" button. And if people always want to save to the same directory, they may as well just define this.

I wish in future Notes with customable colors and icons.
I want also a separation line like in opera 12

Pesala

@jumpsq Then you would lose the convenience of saving directly to downloads without selecting a folder. Save As defaults to the last used folder, but you always have to confirm that choice or choose another folder. With Save, you do not need to do confirm anything.

Four buttons are needed. MIME type support would avoid that, as it can be configured to save each file type in its own default folder, or to open some types in a chosen program.

@pafflick It would be a massive undertaking to implement and maintain such a patch in Chromium. Don't hold your breath.
