Allow turning on full-screen mode as a website permission

With this feature, we would be able to blacklist/whitelist websites for turning on full-screen mode automatically (like eg. opening video in full-screen mode), just like we could do it with Notifications, Popups, Plugins, Location, Camera & other website permissions. Global setting to allow/disallow full-screen on all websites by default would be welcomed too. Some browsers - like IE for example - ask you to allow the site to run in the full-screen mode.

Move Hide/Show Panel Button to Right If Panels are on the right

Ability to drag & drop bookmarks and folders into other folders on the Speed Dial page.

More Space Above Tabs if not Maximized

Ability to use the "back button" on vivaldi://startpage (after entering a folder).*

We should be able to quickly move between folders on our Speed Dial pages. Currently, the only way to go to the previous folder (after entering one), is to click on a tiny button placed above the Speed Dial items. It's inconvenient.

* By the "back button" I mean the following:

Go to previous page button [<] on the navigation panel;
Keyboard shortcuts ([← Backspace], [CTRL] + [←] or custom ones);
The built-in "Back" button that some mouses have;
Mouse gesture "History back";
Rocker gestures.

Open Bookmarks / Notes folders with single click

That is especially needed when the "Open Bookmark Panel Items with Single Click" option in vivaldi://settings/bookmarks/ is checked. Right now the only way to open bookmarks/notes folder with a single click is to aim the small triangle-shaped "expand" icon.

Switch the cursor to pointer when hovering over Bookmarks

But only when the "Open Bookmark Panel Items with Single Click" option in vivaldi://settings/bookmarks/ is checked. It'll be more intuitive...

Bookmarks / Notes Separators

Ability to separate bookmarks/notes with a single, horizontal line, just like in Opera 12.

RegEx support for search

Make the User Interface Zoom affect context menus

It would be handy for touchscreen devices. At least increase the spacing between context menu items (as an option), just like it happens with the File Explorer context menu on Windows 10, after switching to the Tablet Mode.

pafflick

Make the "Close Tab" button always visible (as an option)

On a touch screen, the :hover events don't work (for obvious reasons), so closing a tab using an invisible button is quite difficult sometimes...

Touchscreen mode

Opera introduced such feature recently. This mode should be optimized for touchscreen devices - it should allow touch gestures instead of mouse gestures, the UI elements should be larger (menus, buttons), it could be turned on/off automatically depending on the Windows 10's "Tablet mode" setting state, etc...

Allow stacking pinned tabs / pin tab stacks

pafflick

Allow moving pinned tabs across the tab bar (and placing them in between other tabs)

pafflick

Allow changing the order of tabs within tab stacks

Currently, it's possible only by removing & adding them back to the tab stacks in the desired order.

pafflick

Add option to allow search suggestions in Private Windows

pafflick

Option to always revert to the default search engine in the Search Field

Currently, the Search Field remembers the last used search engine, even if it was used in a Private Window. I think it should be configurable.

pafflick

Split the "Switch Tabs by Scrolling" feature into two independent features

Switch tabs using the RMB + scroll
Switch tabs using the scroll wheel while hovering over the tab bar

Currently, you can only enable/disable both of them at once.
