Extensions' keyboard shortcuts don't work
-
@muurtegel Sorry - no public bug tracker. But also, I can see internally that There don't seem to be resources to devote to this at the moment, either.
-
I set keyboard shortcut on extension in settings and it doesn't work
-
1.16.1170.3 Changelog mentioned this bug:
[Extensions] Keyboard shortcuts don’t work (VB-14668)But I don't see any change.
"Global" is still needed.Does anybody see any difference?
-
@vias You can show extension action popups with shortcuts, this seems to work now. More complex shortcuts don't work for me.
-
This is 8 months old, how is this not fixed? I only use a shortcut with two of my extensions, and this massively impacts easy usability for them.
-
@ryonez Judging from the bug number of VB-14668 this issue is much older than 8 months — probably close to 3 years. I don't even see the option to assign shortcuts in the Extensions manager page now. I assume that the option has been hidden because shortcuts don't work, and the bug has not been fixed because it is hard to fix properly.
It seems obvious to me that if they are to work then the shortcuts in Settings, Keyboard for Vivaldi commands has to know about extension shortcuts and vice versa to avoid assigning a shortcut that is already in use for something else.
You could ask for an update on the Bug Status Thread.
I disabled the Extensions Toggle in Settings Address Bar, and can access my two extensions from the popup menu.
-
@pesala I wish there was a way to get to extensions that didn't require the address bar. It's not a big deal, but I prefer hiding mine, as I only ever access it when pressing Ctrl+L. I never click it with the mouse. It's Ctrl+L or Ctrl+T.
Having the shortcut work for Pocket would be perfect though.
-
I can't get the keyboard shortcuts to work with extensions. "Regular" shortcuts (i.e. those accesed via Vivaldi Settings) work OK, but when I try to assign a shortcut to an extension (via Extensions-->Keyboard Shortcuts) they just don't work.
For example, I have cmd+shift+P assigned to the Pocket extension. When I press those keys nothing happens (I've tried with other combinations, and with other extensions). I have the feeling that I'm missing something probably obvious, but I don't know why... Any ideas? Thanks.
-
@gwen-dragon OK, I've reported it. Thanks.
-
I've never gotten it to work either. None of the extension hotkeys, no matter what I set them to. Pretty sure I reported it as a bug a while back as well.
-
I am also having this issue (super frustrating!). This is going to be a dealbreaker. I use my last pass keyboard shortcut probably 150 times a day. I hate to say it, but I guess I'm going back to Chrome until this is resolved. Hopefully it is a known issue and a fix is in the works! In which case, I'll be back when that fix is ready

modedit split from https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/31027/keyboard-shortcuts-not-working-with-extensions
After spending some time researching I have discovered something "funny": The keyboard shortcuts for extensions only works if the browser is in english language (UK or US).
If you use spanish, french or german don't work at all. (I haven't tried all the list of languages available. Just those).Can someone check it?
PS: I didn't realize that it's the mac forum and I use Windows. Perhaps could be the same error.
-
I have found a way to use keyboard shortcuts: just set Vivaldi's language to english (UK or US).
If you use spanish, german or french shortcuts don't work. I haven't tried other languages, but I suppose that they fail too.Can someone confirm if the trick works?
-
@gwen-dragon Bug reported as VB-46540.
-
@izk666 Might be, I use US both on Windows and Mac and extension shortcuts work on Win but not on Mac
-
I have the same Issue, recent OSX Version, recent vivaldi version, recent 1password X version.
Problem exist on two macs with the same configuration.
I'am able to change the Keyboard Shortcut in the Settings, which might mean that the extension is generally able to catch the shortcuts at least in the extension configuration page.I've tried several combinations with either command, option or control key to avoid some platform specific <command> key issues. It didn't changed anything.
The issue does not exist on Google Chrome
-
I've now also changed locale settings from UK to US, which changed nothing.
beside that i've tried:- Full Keyboard Access: Inherit from System Preferences
- Allow Keyboard Shortcuts: Disable (to omit vivaldis shortcut "interception")
- Space for Fast Forward: Disable
Dear Vivaldi Developers, would you please give us some updates about that issue?
Main Reason for me is the use of 1password. 1password is forwarding their requests to Vivaldi because its an Vivaldi issue. I'am sure if it is only 1password related, you will get a free team account for testing implementation! -
As was stated in the Windows thread regarding this topic, this seems to be related to language.
On mac I cannot change the language of Vivaldi, to test this, tough. I'd happily switch to English if this allows me to use extension shortcuts.

Same issue here
Vivaldi version: 2.3.1440.60 (Stable channel) (64-bit)
OS: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS -
@dakira Maybe on Windows that's the case but not on MacOS. At least not in mine, I'm using the latest Vivaldi in English on MacOS Mojave and the extension shortcuts don't work (and they never worked before either with any previous Vivaldi or MacOS version, and I've been always using the English version).
