Feature requests for Vivaldi 1.14

[An option to Not Collapse Named Stacks] when they contain only one tab.
Problem: I stack 10 shopping tabs. I name the tab stack "Amazon". I clean up and close down 9 tabs. The named stack vanishes. I now open some more links on the root Amazon page, and the pages are no longer stacked, I have to recreate a stack and rename it
Suggestion: Add a "Do not collapse named stacks" option. Thus if you close down all but one tab in a named stack, the stack remains with 1 tab in it. Subsequent links opened from that page will enter into that same named stack.

Separate "Switch tabs with scroll wheel" into two options:
- Switch tabs when scrolling over tab bar
- Switch tabs when holding RMB and scrolling
#1 is murder if you use vertical tabs and accidentally scroll when hovering over the relatively large target the vertical tab strip presents.
#2 is how Opera12 used to behave, and is very controllable even for people with poor motor control.

Searching should alert when the first match (where the search began) reached again
For example if I search for "again" and the first match is 5/8, then I go through the other matches until reaching 5/8 again (so I viewed all matches). At this point an alert should warn me that I reached the beginning of the search again, so I didn't found what I'm looking for.
Working solution: "Find in window" visual alert on starting the search over again
-
Choose between left or right double click to close tab. This will prevent accidental closing of tabs while switching between them, resizing windows, and dragging tabs using touchpads on laptops.
-
A drop-down style menu for looking up bookmars, as in old opera
-
A tab for the downloads manager, just like it appears on the 'downloads' section of the panel, but also appearing as a tab (outside the panel).
-
Search Field Auto Cleanup
Add a setting which makes search field clean itself when you finish writing your query and press ENTER.
-
The ability to start at the previously used speed dial folder on the start page. Every time I open/close a tab it resets to the first folder. Also, the ability to customize the start page more.

Feature Request: Quick way to go to the top of the page AND go back to the position you were before
This feature request is actually very simple, it's just a workflow improvement I found in Yandex browser...
The feature is: When you are browsing a webpage and you scroll down to some place on the page, you will be able to click on the tab to go to the top of the page, and if you click on the tab again you will return to the position you were before..
Is unbelievable how useful this feature is, and since Vivaldi is the king of workflows... yeah it would be great to have it..Example:
Fun fact: Opera just added this feature today, as requested by me...
Ty.

Manage SpeedDial from SpeedDial.
Image from Opera Blink SpeedDial.
-
Possibility to edit a bookmark by right-clicking it in Bookmark Bar and choose Edit from drop-down menu (as in Google Chrome).
In Edit dialog you can change Name, URL and bookmark folder. -
Make the whole tab bar active for actions that now work only when a mouse cursor is above an opened tab (or + symbol).
By these actions I mean middle-click to open new empty tab, switching tabs via scrolling wheel, dragging link or an image to open it in a new tab and so on. In Firefox it works exactly like this. In order to keep an ability to maximize the window by clicking the tab bar, double clicking this area could still do exactly that.This "infiniteness" of tab bar active area could be indicated like this:
How many times per day do you resize the window and how many times per day do you open a new tab?
-
Option to expand/collapse bookmark folders with single click
Drop requirement for double-click or hitting expand triangle (As it was possible in good old 12.x times).Include/Combine with disabling inline editing of folder names in sidebar.
Unwanted rename often triggered when double-click timing is off. -
Option when playing a video to darken everything outside of the video that is playing (like in yandex.browser).
-
Option to remove address bar on popout windows/extensions
Some extensions/popout windows that would normally not have an address bar, currently have one. Would be great to have an option to turn it on/off.
-
Open new tab from Address bar by default (or by option in Settings), without Alt/Ctrl combinations.
Just like in Firefox with TabMixPlus addon. -
Option to show update notification only when browser is started and used, not if browser is not running.
As it is now, user can only chose to have notifications or not, and notifications are separate application that stays running all the time regardless if Vivaldi browser is used or not.
Other than wasting resources, application tends to pop up with notification at least desirable time.
It would be good to have update notification like in other user friendly applications - only while application is actually used and in visible but non disturbing manner.
-
Android app?
-
Separate setting for Close button visibility on the Window panel.
I need to keep hidden the Close button in the tab bar but show it on the Window panel.
-
Add option to take a tab stack -- one you've been adding research tabs to, for instance -- and then Hibernate-to-Bookmarks it by dragging to the bookmarks panel, removing from active tabs.
