@Jx3oMeW2A
On the one hand, I think maybe you're overreacting a bit. On the other hand, this is basic browser functionality that goes all the way back to the late 90s or early 00s in pretty much every browser that has ever existed. -
Bumping because I'm finding this bug difficult to deal with as well. Ctrl+Enter is muscle memory at this point from decades of use and I can't just turn it off. I'm bound to keep accidentally ending up at

until a fix is issued. -
The comments on that RC thread are extremely troubling - it seems they don't consider it an important "feature" and haven't even decided if they want to keep it.
When a keystroke does the same thing in every browser I use for over a quarter century, I build up one heck of a muscle memory. The main reason I use Vivaldi instead of other browsers is because I can make the browser conform to what my fingers want to do, rather than the other way around. If they don't consider that important anymore, it's time for me to move on.

^ this. so much.
While i always appreciate dev input, I can not believe he is actually trying to argue this function is not exactly "fundamental" in today's world anymore.
Case in point, one of the biggest banks here in Canada, their website will not work (gives "connection time out" error) if you input "address.com". If you do "www.address.com" then it works and loads their homepage. Before I could just type the address and ctrl+enter, now I have to actually type the www. There are also quite a few other sites that's like this but this one pops up in my head since it's a big bank website.

Regrettably accurate. Vivaldi's mission statement is supposed to be that the user is never wrong. Unfortunately it seems that the dev's thinking has diverged from this goal.

I think you are both mistaken about the developer's attitude to this issue.
@ruario said in the RC2 thread:
The code that was used for Ctrl+Enter was highly complex, did not work as it was intended and caused other issues. Adding it back at this stage would break other things. We need to think about this option more before it could be re-added.
I agree with him that is not fundamental. I never use it, though I am sure a good number of users do use it, I wonder if that is even 10%. If it were 90% we would be seeing a flood of posts complaining about this change.
There is no quick fix. The code was highly complex and needs to be rewritten, but not before rethinking how it should work.

Of course it should not be rewritten thoughtlessly - nobody is advocating that. Rather, it should not have been removed until a replacement was ready. The elimination of this feature was a regression. Allowing regressions because "most users don't care" is the kind of thinking that got us Opera 15 and triggered the creation of this very browser. It's a troubling development for that reason.

@Fopedush It was removed because:

If it was truly causing issues in already-released versions of Vivaldi then I suppose I must begrudgingly admit that this was the only way to handle it. In any case, if my tone strayed too close to antagonism, then I apologize. I have nothing but respect and admiration for the Vivaldi developers. Even with the occasional hiccup, Vivaldi remains the best browser out there.
-
I would like to add a +1 to fixing this. I used this shortcut all the time, and have been rather confused since it's been removed.
-
Same here not working on ubuntu 19.10, I need 'ctrl+enter = www.***.com' desperately. Presume it is quite easy to fix this problem. Please fix and update. Thx.

@tau As I said earlier:

-
It's a relatively simple feature that has been in every browser since the early 1990s. If it's really that complex and in need of a rewrite in Vivaldi, that dramatically lowers my faith in both its codebase and its developers.
-
Please, someone post more rants about it, it will surely speed up the coding process, especially on saturday night. * sigh *

It's the exact BUG that I decide not to upgrade to the newest version.
I have been using Ctrl+Enter to append www and .com for a VERY LONG time, but this bug totally breaks my habit.
Very frustrated. Will not upgrade until this bug is fixed.. -
Same issue here, Windows 10 1803, Vivaldi 2.9.1705.41 (Stable channel) (32-bit).
I must say the comments in this thread are disturbing regarding a feature that every browser has had for over 10 years, probably longer.
Looking forward for this to be fixed in the next update, or I'll give Brave a try.

Very frustrated. Will not upgrade until this bug is fixed..This was my point at the beginning. I did upgrade though. What version are you on I will look for it and stay on that version till this bug is fixed. I have used CTRL+Enter since the beginning back in the early 2000s so the fact that this is being removed is scary. Every other browser has this functionality.
It's 2.8.1664.44 (Stable channel) (64-bit).

I would really appreciate if Vivaldi Devs could fix this Ctrl + Enter combination issue. I am a software developer and am accustomed to using loads of shortcuts to optimize my daily workflow and not having this muscle-memorized combination in my favorite and preferred browser really frustrates my on daily basis.
Thank you and kind regards
