Extensions' keyboard shortcuts don't work
-
It is a bit more work, but is not difficult to set custom shortcuts for any extension in vivaldi. You can set the extension to ANY KEY SEQUENCE YOU DESIRE.
- Turn on debug mode from the extensions page.
- Find the long string of lowercased letters that represents the extension in question from the chrome extensions page.
- Search for the location of the folder with this name on your system.
- Navigate to the folder in question.
- Go to this site and get the keycodes for the desired shortcut key sequence.
- Back up the extension directory in its entirety.
- Search the directory for the file or files containing the term 'ctrlKey' or 'shiftKey'. Edit the file(s), replacing the relevant numeric keycodes with the desired ones found on the site above. If you do not understand the logic in these lines (there should only be a few of them), there are plenty of places to get help online. It is trivial for any programmer/Javascript programmer to understand. Ask them.
- After editing the file, go back to chrome extensions menu for the extension in question and click on "load unpacked extension". Select the exact same location of the extension you just edited.
- Open a new tab and test. If the key sequence does not trigger your extension, restart and test again. If still nothing, re-edit file. If you break something (you will not break vivaldi doing this, you will only break your extension), replace the extension with the backed up copy.
I am on mobile, but will go back and clean this up when I get to a computer.

The problem still exists...
I can make the shortcut work, but only if set to "Global".
This is not acceptable because it conflicts with shortcuts of other programs.
It is very annoying if you disable/enable things by accident (when in some other program..)Any progress in this?

the last working Vivaldi is 2.9.1745.22.
on later version the Bitwarden Autofill Shortcut (CTRL+SHIFT+L) is broken.I have got several Standalone Vivaldi versions and can reproduce this misbehavior reliably (older Vivaldi versions can handle Bitwarden Autofill whereas newer Vivaldi versions can't).
Latest GoogleChrome has no issues. -
Same for me. I thought it was another program stealing the shortcut (originally AMD's settings app did but I've rebound that), but if I'm not the only one with the issue then it might be a Vivaldi issue.
I haven't tried rebinding the extension shortcut to see if that fixes it, though.
-
Same problem with me. It is a bug in Vivaldi. I told this behavior to the developer of Bitwarden and he created a bug report for this (https://github.com/bitwarden/browser/issues/1092). Actually I don't have a bug report id / number.
Because of this problem I'm still using version 2.9.1705.41 of Vivaldi browser. Here autofill shortcut works fine. Just installed the new release 2.10.1745.26 of Vivaldi and the problem still exists.
Hopefully the bug will be fixed soon so I'm able to upgrade to the latest 2.10 build of Vivaldi.

Is there a bug tracker where you can see all bugs reported? I would like to know if the bug the developer reported is in work / progress already or if there is a snapshot which fixes this bug. Any ideas?
-
@PoooMukkel There's no public bug tracker.
-
@hlehyaric Thanks for the info! I couldn't believe that I'm to blind to find a link for that.
-
@PoooMukkel You can ask here to know about a bug status.
-
Good to know. But I don't have a bug number which I could ask for...
-
@PoooMukkel My bad. I thought you had one.

Some posters mention their VB-xxxxx bug numbers of their issues in our forum.
I think that this bug isn't mentioned here. I'm not able to find it when searching for "Bitwarden" in the forum. I only have the statement from the developer on GitHub (https://github.com/bitwarden/browser/issues/1092) without a bug id.
-
I just installed the new Vivaldi version 2.10.1745.27 and Bitwarden shortcut is still not working.
-
Thanks @Gwen-Dragon ! I just created a new bug report but I didn't get a message that my bug report was created successfully.
It's a pitty that there is no progress. But good to know that it's not only a problem with Bitwarden.
-
Done.
-
I solved this by making the shortcut "global" on the Extensions page.

What's the difference between "In Vivaldi" and "Global"? Does it mean that this shortcut does work in other applications too?
EDIT: It works! Thanks a lot @paul1149 ! Now I can go to Vivaldi 2.10!

You're very welcome. I don't know that this is an actual solution, but if not it's a very close workaround.
I don't know what the 'global' difference is. I suppose global means it is registered with the system and will work in other programs, but I didn't find that to be the case when I checked a while back.

Something like that, yes. I use StreamKeys to use my keyboard's media keys in Vivaldi. It is set to global, which means that I can pause/resume the music or change songs even when I'm using a completely different program.
