Feature requests for 1.12

[josephj11]

@rebanar Moving interface elements around is important and has been requested many times.

[wohdin]

@wraithtek Just use the middle mouse button to close tabs. It's faster anyway.

[josephj11]

@wohdin Revisted it. Makes sense now. Upvoted.

FEATURE REQUEST: ALT+D to Select "Address Field"

Details:
This is a professional standard for all browsers just like CTRL+C, CTRL+V, CTRL+X, CTRL+T, ALT+F4, CTRL+W, and so on. ALT+D is a browsing standard shortcut for selecting the URL Address field to navigate the current window to another URL.

Benefit:
Will win over those performance professionals who care about ROI and KPI on per minute efficiency bases.

Impact:
None.

Effort:
Minimal

@dinoraptor You can define your own browser keyboard shortcuts in the settings menu.

1. Go to settings > search for "create bookmark" (I think thats the alt+d default)
2. Remove that shortcut by clicking it and pressing backspace
3. Search for "focus address field"
4. Click in that box and press Alt+D

Alternative shortcut to open pages from Quick Command panel.

Open Pages in New/Current Tab is permanent setting. Or one, either other, always. Would be great to have the ability choose it on entering. For example, Shift+Enter for the alternative Open option.

@rotfl I already know about holding right mouse and scroll. But it lack in accuracy.
Switching tabs using rocker provide tactile kinda feedback so you will know exactly how many tabs have you switched.
I previously use firefox addon Firegestures for this particular feature. Please give it a try. Once you are accustomed to it, it is hard to live without.
It is the only thing missing in Vivaldi.

An option to turn on favicons in the 'search with' context menu option.
Also an option to list the search engines in the alphabetical order.

[Pesala]

@yes-aravind I don't think the search with menu needs an option to show favicons — it should show them by default as in Opera 12.17.

I reported the sorting of search engines in the menu by last used as a bug, but I suspect that it was an intentional change. Sorting Search Engines in Settings should be made possible.

@pesala For some reason, the favicons don't show up for me..

[criverajc]

@rotfl I agree. I'm new to Vivaldi and would like to post a couple of requests, but it is very tedious to scroll through 30+ pages to see if my requests have already been posted. Maybe a knowledge base style database of requests that can be categorized and searched would work better?

[Pesala]

@criverajc You do not need to scroll through 30 pages. Use the search facility.

@pesala said in Feature requests for 1.12:

To check if a feature request has already been made, use Search in the Black Header.

[LonM]

@pesala The problem is that, unless i'm mistaken, you can't search by a particular post/thread. (If you know of a way, please tell me!) I search something like this:

Search: 1.12 tabs
In: Feature Requests
Time: >3 Months 

The first result on this doesn't mention the word "tab" at all, the second is not in a dedicated feature request thread, and the third is for an older thread (1.11). The search definitely whittles things down, but it is by no means a concrete way of finding a particular suggestion.

[iAN CooG]

@lonm I agree, search in this forum is almost useless.

Auto-close panels after using context menu in "Download" section

vivaldi://chrome/settings

Yes, I am new to Vivaldi and had a hard time finding these settings also. I did create a speed dial for this, along with one for the content settings. Would be great if they could be incorporated into the Vivaldi settings page at some point.

[criverajc]

@sdgreene One feature I like about Chrome is the ability to disable JavaScript and enable only for the sites I add to my "approved" list. Same with cookies.

Also, when I access a new site where cookies and JavaScript are disabled, I can easily see that at the right of the address bar (see icons below) and can click to add that site to my "approved" cookies and JavaScript lists.

Hello Vivaldi team!

First of all, THANK YOU FOR THIS AMAZING BROWSER; I really love it and I appretiate all the changes and effort you are putting into it (including fixing all the bugs I have reported).

I just want to ask you for one more (I hope simple) thing:
Mouse gesture for "Copy Page Address" (it is in right-click menu now) as it was in old Opera (there it was called "Copy Document Address").
I am browsing with hidden address bar for saving space and this function is very important for me.

Thank you,
Urza
