Easy to Implement Feature Requests
-
@TsunamiZ Feature requests must be only one feature request per topic. All of these are already there.
-
Users in many cases do not bother to search the forum before to see if their feature request has already been made, this obviously leads to confusion and duplicate requests It may be helpful to create a thread with the list of features in work that the user can consult

@Catweazle Here you go:
A list of Feature Requests IN PROGRESS
-
#16 and #18 are most important to me.
#18 - None of the filters for visual impairment seem to have any effect (but that could just be me).
#16 - A minimal download manager (as in O12) is something I've been advocating for since the Alpha version. Perhaps this is more of a Chromium Issue(?) Someone more experienced may be able to elaborate. -

Do you know your colour-blindness type?
Filters Off
Deuteranopia
Protanopia
Tritanopia

@Pesala Probably Deuteranopia. I am told I am what is called colour deficient and have a slight Red/Green colour blindness. I am told this means that I can see colours, but my wee brain is not able to identify them properly.
I see all the images (with colours) but could not tell you which was correct without the labels, only that they are different. (I play snooker and often have to check the red I am shooting is not actually brown or green, especially on a green felt.)
Also I have cataracts in both eyes but that will be resolved in the next few months
I seem to do better with "Hues" if that is the proper term. If one placed all the 'blue' colour tones before me for example I could arrange them from lightest to darkest (palest to deepest)
Lighting and backgrounds also have differing effects.
I do mange but some sites... are really bad no matter how I use the filter or what browser I use. -
This old bug reported on 8th July 2018 should be simple to fix.
(VB-41722) Search Field Should have Focus on Opening HelpDONECurrently, after pressing F1 to open help, one has to then press Tab to begin typing for a topic.
-
@Pesala Just an FYI, Internally this isn't being treated as a browser feature any more, but a feature for the help pages.
It hasn't had any further progress be made on it.
-
@LonM This has got even worse. Now it is no longer possible to focus the Search at all without using the mouse.
(VIV-1004) Help unusable without a mouse
Update: It is possible by using spatial navigation shortcuts: Shift+Down, Shift+Down, Enter in my case.
-
@Pesala I just tested this and I can reach the search field on the homepage using the Tab key. It goes through the links in the top right corner first and then focuses on the search field and search button, before moving on to the Popular help topic links.
-
@jane-n If I remember rightly it used to take just one press of the tab key; now it takes seven. Accessibility issues should be a priority. I initially reported this issue on 8th July 2018. I am no web design expert, but changing the tab order of page elements in my program (WebPlus X8) is a five minute job.
-
@Pesala The team is currently working on updating Help Pages. I'll pass this information on to them.
-
It only takes 8 presses on Tab when Settings are set to tab through links as well as form elements. If you only include form elements it's only two presses. One of the major benefits of this option on old Opera and current Vivaldi.
(The first press still takes you to a "skip to x" link, the meaning of which is totally unclear and confusing to me.) -
@jane-n Were the help pages updated yet? This issue is still unfixed.
VB-49172 "Vivaldi wants to save pages as MHTML even though it is disabled."
This is another bug that is old, and which should be easy to fix.
-
Were the help pages updated yet?
No, not yet. You'll definitely notice when we've released the updated version.
