Extensions' keyboard shortcuts don't work

@wolfga there is no public bug tracker. This is so old, it likely has already been addressed and what you're experiencing is a regression and you should file a new bug.
If you have a bug number and want to check on the status, you can post in this thread

Hey I'm new to vivaldi and since I'm writing this in the middle of 2020 I'm on vivladi v3.1.1929.40 (Stable channel) (64-bit) and when I go to vivaldi://extensions I don't see any shortcuts in there let alone an option to make them global.
Ctrl+Shift+L
is still not working. Is there a more recent fix for this? -
@agilesteel
Onvivaldi://extensions
, click the hamburger menu in the top left:
This should open a menu where "Keyboard shortcuts" is an option.
(This UI design is inherited from Chromium since Vivaldi doesn't yet have its own extension page, and it is stupid.)
-
@Komposten Oh man... thanks! It's hidden so well. I found it, changed it to global and now it works. Awesomeness!
-
Still not working on Vivaldi, 3.1.1929.45 (Stable channel) (64-bit) on Deepin V20 beta. This is the only thing that keeps me using opera.

This issue suddenly occurred for me. No rhyme or reason. This is so freaking weird. I have been using Vivaldi perfectly fine for a few months now. Updating and updating...then all the sudden I have this terrible issue!
None of my Keyboard shortcuts work for Extensions. No idea why or how this happened. Search for the problem and came here to report. Also, sometimes very briefly the issue goes away...but I can't repeat this behavior or figure out why. It is unreliable.
-
@zhdenny Setting the shortcuts to
Global
seems to get them working for me.@nomadic said in Bitwarden AutoFill keyboard short cut does not work on Linux:
Have you tried setting the shortcut to
Global
instead of the defaultIn Vivaldi
?You can change this in
vivaldi://extensions/
(Ctrl
+Shift
+E
).- Just expand the hamburger menu in the top left corner
- Select
Keyboard Shortcuts
- Scroll to the specific extension's section
- Change the relevant keyboard shortcuts to
Global
This is obviously a workaround to a bug, but at least it gets it working.
-
@nomadic Ya, I definitely have tried setting it to global or vivaldi.....sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't. It is weird.

Having left Vivaldi several months ago because of unpredictable keyboard shortcut behavior similar to this, I recently decided to come back and give it another try. At the time I wasn’t using Bitwarden, but now I am. So on my first day after reinstalling Vivaldi, I run into this bug. Not encouraging.
By the way, the “Global” workaround does what it says. If I have a login page open in Vivaldi and I switch to another program, pressing Ctrl+Shift+L autofills my username and password in Vivaldi. Worse, if I go to, say, Firefox and attempt to autofill a login using Ctrl+Shift+L, it now fails (because Vivaldi captures my keyboard shortcut).
If and when Vivaldi fixes these long-standing issues, I will consider returning. It is a pity because Vivaldi has a significant edge in UI design (tabs etc.), keyboard shortcut customizability, and other features. But once again (and I don’t think I’m alone), I’m finding the broken keyboard-shortcut behavior a dealbreaker.

@op132 The Bitwarden extension can't fill in anything beyond the browser, since extensions are sandboxed. I suspect you are using the Bitwarden program on your OS. That's the only way you could have such problems.
-
@tjukken said in Bitwarden Autofill Shorcut broken on newer Vivaldi:
I suspect you are using the Bitwarden program on your OS. That's the only way you could have such problems.
The Bitwarden Windows desktop app is not able to fill in credentials! Only the browser extensions are filling in something.
-
@PoooMukkel Are you using the Windows app?
-
@tjukken Yes I do.
-
@PoooMukkel Use the extension instead. That will fix your problem.
-
@tjukken I don't have a problem with the desktop app. And with the "global" option for the keyboard shortcut I don't have a problem with the Vivaldi extension too.
-
@tjukken I think you misunderstood what @op132 meant. They're talking about the BitWarden extension auto-filling in Vivaldi even when Vivaldi is in the background.
To test it, do like this:
- Set BitWarden's autofill shortcut to "Global" in Vivaldi.
- Unlock your BitWarden vault.
- Open a webpage you have credentials for in BitWarden and navigate to that website's login page.
- Minimise Vivaldi or just switch to another application.
- Press
Ctrl+Shift+L
(or whatever shortcut you use for auto-filling with the BitWarden extension). - Open Vivaldi again. You should now see that the BitWarden extension has auto-filled your login info on the website you had opened, even though Vivaldi was in the background/minimised.
This is the expected behaviour of a global shortcut, and is very useful for some extensions (like e.g. StreamKeys for controlling music/videos/streams while in other applications).
-
@Komposten Aha. Right you are.
-
Hi, that's what worked for me (see the screenshot):
- Set the shortcut to activate the given extension (BTW, the activation shortcut is Vivaldi-only, it can't be made Global).
- Change all the other shortcuts under the given extension to Global.
- Then restart Vivaldi (otherwise, the changes won't apply).
- On restart, click your "activation" shortcut first, then use the other (Global) shortcuts for the extension.
Hope this helps
-
Unfortunately Global shortcuts conflicts with my existing shortcuts with other applications. Hence I need Vivaldi only shortcuts
-
This issue is already 2 years old (or maybe more), loosed hope to use Vivaldi, because I need to use the extension "in Vivaldi" mode, as @arafat said too much conflic to use "Global" mode
