(History of) Vivaldi Feature Requests
-
Hello everyone, thanks for reading this!
English is not my native language, so sometimes I am having little troubles using it. I would love to use Google Translate with Filter Quick Commands, but I doubt if this feature could be real. :dry: -
i have just switched from Opera 12.17 to Vivaldi and i like it, it's incredible how far you have come already
one issue though: if you migrate your bookmarks from an existing installation, it seems that there are several possible names for the opera profile folder (opera, operax64 and so on) but only if yours is named 'opera' it will work. in all other cases the 'importing bookmark' message will stay there for a minute or so and the import will end without any feedback (or success).
now for the main reason of this post: i'm missing the following features from opera, some of which sound rather easy to implement in my opinion. i'd love to hear if you already have them on your roadmap.
the easy stuff:
- left-click on tab to minimize. this is incredibly useful to get mru-tab-cycling with the mouse.
- double click on empty spot in tab bar to open a new tab
the complex stuff:
- F12 menu? in my development snapshot there are no page specific settings but the source code inspector opens. not sure if that's intended
- user css files. to modify some page layouts, i'd like to load a user css file which can override the css definitions of that page
also if i install the adblock plus extension from the store, vivaldi immediately crashes reproducibly. installing the regular adblock extension works fine.
also is there some kind of crash reporter integrated in vivaldi, i.e. do you get crash reports automagically or should users report them manually?

When opening an image larger than the browser window, let us drag the image around with LMB. That is one of the features I miss the most from Opera 12.

Double-click to zoom in then click the middle mouse button, to pan the image. It's way better than LMB in Opera 12.

I know about MMB, but I'm used doing it with LMB and Opera 12 has both. I see no reason to not have both.

Vivaldi Feature Request: middle mouse button scroll anywhere on the page.
There is a problem with middle mouse button (MMB) scrolling. It is impossible to scroll when cursor is under links | images | video on the web-page.
!
Possible solutions:
1. Using some modifier key e.g. SHIFT + MMB to scroll anywhere on the page.
2. Scroll anywhere when Press-and-Hold middle mouse button (MMB) :woohoo:What do you think?

What do you think?
The mouse buttons need to serve dual purposes, as do gestures. The behaviour over links or image links is to open them. There is always an area to the side of the web page where one can middle-click to begin fast scrolling, and once one begins fast scrolling there is no problem with scrolling over links and image links.

How do you put the left bar to top right near search bar?

Sure, but it depends on web-page (content) and zoom level as well. And I usually don't want to waste time to search that area; I want to MMB click anywhere on the page to begin fast scrolling
So I think it is a good idea:
Possible solutions:
1. Using some modifier key e.g. SHIFT + MMB to scroll anywhere on the page.
2. Scroll anywhere when Press-and-Hold middle mouse button (MMB) :woohoo: -
Vivaldi Feature Request:
Remaining time indicator of ongoing downloads + some indicator when download is finished
-
I agree with Stardust
-
This is a really annoying behavior actually… When I use "Ctrl+f" to search for something in a page, I can't use the "Esc" key to get rid of the search "bar" that opens...
-
Thanks for the "paste and go" in address bar.
How about a "copy link text" in the right click menu within the main browser page view?

Hi.
Can be an "USER INTERFACE SCALE" scaleable with a mouse wheel?
Thanks. -
Since the release of the first preview I tested your browser again and again.
And I think there's a big potential in your browser, but there are also somethings which I think needs to be done.
So here are a few suggestions.1. User Interface
1.1. I think everyone want's to see as much of a website as possible so my first suggestion goes along with this need.
As you already offer to choose the position of every bar, I would also like to get an option to merge the address bar and tab bar.
-> Move the buttons [back], [forward], [reload], etc. to the tab bar.
The tab bar should transform into the address bar on double clicking on a tab.
I think it would be awesome to do it with an expand effect. -> The tab which was double clicked becomes larger and larger until it reached the size of the address bar.1.2. You're already offering an option to hide the address bar, but you likely forgot to handle a key event.
If the address bar is hidden (temporary) show it again on pressing ctrl + l.
In combination with suggestion no 1: Expand the current tab to the address bar.1.3. I would like to get an option to show an additional button in the address bar which allows me to open my favorities in the paneele.
(An additional click should hide the paneele)3. Quick commands
3.1. I would like to open websites on the current displayed tab. (Without typing something additional to the command)
3.2. I would like to edit the names of the commands.
3.3. I would like to see a better predicition of the commands.
I don't want to do a google search if I typed "set" or "settings".
I simply want to open the settings.
-> I want to execute the command if my query starts with a substring of the command or my query is the same string as the name of my command.4. Extensions
Add menu point to open the extensions list. (There thankfully available though "about:extensions")
By the way it would also nice to be able to add quick commands by creating extensions.
(Oh and please don't remove the possibility to use LOCAL extensions)I hope you consider to implement my suggestions.
Thank you in advance. -
1. There will, in time, be tons and tons of ways to customize the interface. Almost anything you can think of will be possible.
2. You didn't ask a #2.
3 A work in progress. This will evolve over time.
4. Extensions were not removed. They can still (almost all of them) be installed, and can be managed at vivaldi://extensions. The buttons and such cannot be shown yet, because the portions of the User Interface which would make this possible are still being written. The developers are working hard at it. -
Id like to see a configurable feature that resembles the function of extensions like:
http://www.wipmania.com/ or https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ip-whois-flags-chrome-web/kmdfbacgombndnllogoijhnggalgmkonInformation of the website's IP-Adresses locations, Nameservers and an option to show the AS used would be useful to me.
