Feature requests for Vivaldi 1.14
-
Launch Applications with Shortcuts
In Opera 12.17, I use a lot of shortcuts to launch programs that I don't use every day, and so they are not on my Start Menu. In combination with mnemonic shortcuts (see above), this save a lot of time searching for shortcuts.
i,c,e = Execute program, "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Research\Image Composite Editor\ICE.exe"

Option for Tab Cycler with LMB + Scrollwheel
I don't like having to move my fingers to use the tab-cycler.
- Index finger is for LMB
- Middle-finger is for scroll-wheel
- Right-finger is for RMB
-
Match Accents for Find in Page
Add a checkbox to enable the matching of accents.
-
More Space Above Tabs if not Maximized
Option as in Opera 12.18 for setting the Chrome Area
-
Make zooming of web pages and stand-alone images smoother and more responsive.
-
Move Hide/Show Panel Button to Right If Panels are on the right
-
Open Session Dialogue Should Remember Checkbox State
I prefer to open a session in the current window, so I have to clear the checkbox every time.
-
Paste and Go with Middle-Click on Tab Bar
In Opera 12.17 this setting is called
PageBar Open URL On MiddleClick
-
Command for Play Animations
There is already a command for Load Images
Please add a similar command for Play Animations to toggle animation between Loop and Never
-
Optional Program Sounds
As in Opera 12.17, select WAV files to give audible feedback.
-
Enable Show Toolbar Shortcuts for Fullscreen
Currently, if you press the shortcut to show/hide address bar, status bar, bookmark bar in fullscreen mode they do nothing, but the affect is seen on exiting fullscreen. This is a bug (which I think I reported), but it would be better to show the toolbars (and Panels) in fullscreen mode.
-
Sort Commands for Mouse Gestures Alphabetically
Currently, it is hard to find commands or even to know if they are available. Opera 12.17 has a Quick Find feature that makes it even easier, but sorting them would help. -
My idea is sessions management in windows panel I use sessions very often but doing it from menu it's not very comfortable.
-
Remove Triangle Icons from Bookmarks Panel
These are superfluous. The Open/Closed folder icon could do the same job while being a bigger target.To rename a folder or bookmark, click on the Title, or right-click, rename.
Eight users did not understand the feature request.
Clarification:
- Single-click on the folder icon expands and collapses the tree
- Single-click on the selected folder title edits the title
- Double-click on the title edits the title.
- Single-click on the folder icon could still expand and collapse the tree
-
Adjustable middle-click scroll speed
Currently there's no control over speed and minimal is to fast for reading.
-
Option to select external editor instead of internal source code viewer for control-U, as in Opera 12 and Firefox.
-
Having the option to select "Last Session and Homepage" in startup would be great.
Not just either last session "or" homepage. Having both would save a lot of grief. Especially
if doing computer maintenance pinned tabs are accidentally cleared.I'll keep requesting this till I'm blue in the face.
-
Pull site permissions into Vivaldi's settings under privacy
Right now we have to go to vivaldi://settings/content which is accessible from the address bar popup, but settings like this should be within Vivaldi's settings, instead of the built in Chromium tabs.Most users won't realize there's a place where they can see all site permissions in one place, but within Settings it will be easily discoverable.
-
Native blocking of trackers and cryptomining scripts
Ghostery is a good extension but it requires trusting the sharing of site data with the extension. It is now built into Cliqz - owned by Mozilla.That said, I think Vivaldi should protect users by default in these instances. Users will probably trust Vivaldi over an extension as well.
-
User-friendly view for JSON
like Firefox.
