Fast and easy: Tab Cycling in Vivaldi
-
@elkmonster: Honestly, I can't live without this. So for the last 1.5 years every time I update Vivaldi to a new snapshot I manually edit bundle.js and short-circuit the code that switches the tabs when hovering over tab bar.
-
@pesala: So. Sadly, some Vivaldi features don't go the way that people want. So just to prevent Vivaldi team from switching RMB to LMB people downvote your comment.
Maybe would be nice to add yet another option for this. But, again, there are already examples of features where Vivaldi team decided they know best instead of adding an option. Which is why your comment gets preventively downvoted.It is amazing that you can freely use middle finger for scrolling. Most people do not have that dexterity in their middle fingers, so we usually scroll with index finger. Which leaves RMB better option for us to hold when switching tabs.
-
Wow. A whole article about switching tabs and NO mention of "Right mouse button + scroll". You really do hate that feature, don't you...
-
@XtremAlRaven No one hates that feature. As one of the most common uses, it simply didn't make it into the article.

This doesn't happen. No options are pre-emptively dismissed. The team just works on its priorities and the options that are least disruptive to introduce.
-
@ayespy: Might as well be. Still feels like some important ones don't get much love.
Is was also recently revealed that the team doesn't collect usage stats from users (for privacy reasons). Which means the team's priorities might be wrong.
-
@XtremAlRaven The RMB+Scrollwheel method should have been included. I suspect that more use that method than use Ctrl+Tab.
- Upvote my post if you use RMB+Scrollwheel
- Downvote my post if you use Ctrl+Tab
I use Ctrl+Tab, but I cannot downvote my own post

@XtremAlRaven Last time I was aware of a browser developer using usage statistics to set priorites ("no one uses bookmarks") there was open user revolt.
2-way communication and an upvote system for features seems sensible to me.
-
There are a number of feature requests on Tab Cycling.
Although the number of votes is only a very rough indication of how many users (active on this forum) want a feature, it seems to have very little bearing on which features get implemented.
IMO, a lot more features should be implemented even if they have few or no votes, just because they would be very simple to implement. Only a little development time spent on trivial fixes/changes would at least give the impression that progress was faster than it currently seems to be.

Ooh! I love this combo, but not for switching tabs...for Zooming :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I guess I don't use Tab Cycling at all

@JoelYoung Ah, but careful what you wish for, young Joel. Were we to pop into the Tardis & travel back several decades or hundreds of years but remain on Gaia, & emerge in Straya or [afaik] any of the UK component parts, & be overheard uttering a phrase like...
want to hang with
...& especially if we were spotted emerging from said Tardis, we'd likely as not end up swinging from the end of a knotted rope in short order. I suggest we'd then be in a modicum of difficulty.
Conversely, our outcome would be entirely different if the proposition was instead to hang out together...

Hahahaha! Not touching that... :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye:

Yeah, that's logical. Sigh, oh if only there was a way that the Devs could solicit frequent & energetic ideas & feedback from enthusiasts in its global user base. Why oh why don't they offer a forum where vigorous debates can ensue, ideas can be canvassed, suggestions can be promulgated? Why don't they have experienced owners & Devs some of whom hark from the days, & the very rooms, where many of today's standard browser features were conceived & developed? Why don't they have an energetic owner who regularly tours the world for industry & user meetings / conventions? Sigh, if only they would get real & begin stealing their users' privacy... Logically only then could they have any possible means of rationally assessing priorities.

@steffie: If you ask users what they want they'll tell: "faster horses". When what they really NEED is Opera 12.

@stardust: I have my mouse Logitech M510 reprogrammed so that back button works as Ctrl. And since Ctrl + scrolling is a general standard for zooming, it works not only in Vivaldi, but also Word and other programs.
-
@mtaki14: Well, Vivaldi may categorize that outside mouse gestures settings, but technically speaking, it is a mouse gesture, just like rocking gestures and so on. No matter what, it should get fixed. I don't understand why it takes so long.

Nice! I have a similar config.
But having the native browser support would be awesome. No need of custom scripts and 3 party software. -
@xtremalraven: I find myself in the same boat. Care to share what code you modify?
