Quick Commands – A guide to Vivaldi’s universal search
-
Thank you, I got now, what is Quick Search good for.
-
Quick search does not show my custom shortcuts. Is it a bug?
-
Everything works great for me except searching for an open tab. As I type my query into QC it never finds anything. Just to be sure I expect it to search my open tabs for phrase anywhere on those tabs, not just in tab name. And as someone else mentioned, history search is meh too. Sometimes it finds something but mostly not.
-
@mikulova This is designed to search only the page title. If it had to search entire page content it would be incredibly slow and useless.
-
@pesala: thank you for making it clear to me
-
@braykov You can assign any shortcuts you wish to commands (but a modifier key must be used with some other key). You can even assign single-key shortcuts like "q" to Quick Commands. That will not work while typing, but then you're unlikely to want it while typing in a text box.
Vote for Mnemonic Shortcuts, which would expand the options even more.

I've just started using quick commands. It looks very practical really. Shame on me that I have just recently discovered this feature after using Vivaldi for many months.
"Open on nickname match" is beautiful but it needs some improvement though. For example: "wi" opens Wikipedia and I also want "wide" open the German version of the site. Right now this is impossible because the english Wikipedia shows up immediately as soon as I type "wi". A customizable delay could be an option maybe... -
@sanon that would be a good feature indeed, for now your can work around it by setting "wd" as a nick of it.
-
I use Vivaldi on my tablet with touch. QC would only be useful to me if it could be added to the panel so that I can access it easily by touch.

Hi, is there a way to customize the order in which quick command items appear? Also, can we disable/hide the notes command, as for some this is not the most relevant item. Additional navigation options beside "arrowing up/down" would be nice, too. E.g. badging the entries with a generated nick/character to allow instant access via keyboard? Also, I miss some translated list of available commands. It's hard to figure them out by guessing.
Mmh, that's a lot of feature requests. Anyway, I love QC!

@stevekong Please read the top of the page then...https://forum.vivaldi.net/category/113/feature-requests
-
@stevekong See the available options for Quick Commands in Settings.
-
I guess the answer ist then 'no' to all of the questions and I should put everything to the forum? I was hoping I just missed some 'hidden' way to achieve things.
Nothing helpful there on the top of the page, though.
-
@sanon What about wd as schortcut for the German wiki?
-
- You can disable showing Notes in the Quick Commands by disabling that in Settings, Quick Commands
- Tab and Shift+Tab can also be used for navigation
-
Is it possible to remove the search AND the note maker ?? I never use notes and unticked it in the quick command options.
I just want to have a look at my bookmarks, my tabs and my history no search no "create a note" etc...Mod edit: obscenity removed. Please see Vivaldi's Code of Conduct.

Great tutorial! Like @KenC, I wish I could add Quick Commands to the side panel. In fact, I wonder why the customization of the side panel is so limited. I guess I want it to be like a menu/ribbon in addition to controlling the actual side panel. Right now, a lot of screen real estate is wasted with empty side panel empty space.

Is there a way to use TAB in the Quick Command pannel to select other options in the list ?
Where can I customise this? -
@rdewolff You can use Up/Down cursor keys. It is not customisable. The dialogue uses pretty much standard shortcuts. Tab will get you to the next control (the list), and up/down will select the previous/next item in the list.
