(History of) Vivaldi Feature Requests
-
I'd want a css inspector. It would make making css customizations much easier.
-
1. Option to change tab switching behavior when closing a tab.
Current behavior: When closing a tab it goes back to the last active tab.Suggested OPTIONAL behavior: When closing a tab it goes to the next tab to the right, if no tab exists then it goes to the next tab to the left. (For example if you already have a few tabs open and you then open several new tabs of articles etc then you want to read one and close it to then read the other, but with the current behavior when you close the article then it goes to last active tab and you have to manually switch to the next tab and then rinse repeat for all tabs… So.. yeah, it would be more logical for my usage, but perhaps not for others which is why it should be optional.
Edit: Additional Suggested OPTIONAL behavior: Another behavior could be to go to in whatever direction you are, so for example lets say you have a few tabs open and then manually go from right to left and then close a tab then it would close the tab and open the next tab to the left, if you manually went from left to right and then close a tab then it should close that tab and open the next tab to the right.
2. When you're at a tab and then hold shift and press another tab then all tabs in-between should also be selected, not just the two tabs. (To make it easier to select many tabs at once, current behavior should be moved to AltGr.
3. Add "Open in new tab stack" to the list when right-clicking folders in Bookmarks.

I would like to be able to set escape [ESC] as "Focus Page" keyboard shortcut. This would greatly enhance a vim-like layout.
And keybindings for scrolling half a page up and down would be nice.

Vivaldi Feature Request
Hotkey for the tile vertically feature. When tabs are selected you only need to press hotkey, no need to move cursor to the small button and navigate to the "tile vertically" icon.

You can do this by launching Vivaldi with the command
--remote-debugging-port=XXXXWhere "XXXX" is whatever port number you want to use. Then type localhost:XXXX in your address bar and find the page that ends with "browser.html" From there, you can inspect all the UI elements.
-
I would love to see an option to remove private data older than a given lengths of time. I'm more likely to want to keep the last week than all the weeks leading up to it, which you can currently do.
-
I'm not gonna look through most of the forum to see if similar features have been requested, so I'm gonna suggest them anyway. I use Waterfox (a 64 bit port of Firefox) and I have these two addons that I would like to see similar features implemented.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tile-tabs/?src=ss
Tile Tabs - Like you would do with putting multiple browser windows on screen, this tiles tabs in the same window. I don't know, I find it useful.https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/the-fox-only-better/?src=ss
Beyond Australis - This opens the address bar (and any bars under it) when hovering over the tab/title bar. That's all it does, but I like it. Opens up more space in the window.Just curious if these could be implemented as actual features, or if someone wanted to make Vivaldi compatible addons doing these.
-
You can already tile tabs. If you can't find any of the things I'm about to mention, it's probably because you're running an older version. So, to get that out of the way right now, the most recent version of Vivaldi is 1.0.279.3 as of this post.
Select multiple open tabs by holding shift and clicking them, then right click and select "Tile Selection."
Group multiple tabs either by dragging them on top of each other or by selecting them, right clicking, and choosing "New Tab Stack with Selection." Then tile them with the Page Tiling menu in the status bar:[attachment=1759]Screenshotfrom2015-09-1912:37:03.png[/attachment]
You can also already toggle the UI - but with hotkeys, they don't autohide. ctrl+F11 is the default hotkey to enter no UI mode, which is essentially fullscreen without being fullscreen. For a list of things you can toggle, open quick commands by pressing F2 and then search for "Toggle." This should also show you all of the default hotkeys for those functions. You can change hotkeys by going to Vivaldi settings > Keyboard.

Hey thanks for the help.
I already knew you could toggle the address bar, I just thought hovering over the title to show it would be a cool feature
.
I'd also like it to be for the sidebar too. -
It's already there — just press the down cursor key in the Search field.

does look very good and promising,love new tab page however it needs to work with chrome addons such as adblockplus and should have flash built in as well as the ability to side load and install addons from chrome webstore. what about being ablt to sync with other browsers for example sign in with google to sync with chrome or firefox sync to sync with firefox.
know its early and they will take time to develop but would be cool:cheer:
-
2 simple usability features:
- focus search field when opening settings
- add a hot key to open trash bin popup

I just want a solid browser with good dev tools that doesn't treat me like an idiot or a dollar sign.
I want options, LOTS of options.
I don't want Browser Sync crap. I will NEVER log into a browser, the very idea is moronic to me and feels like a cheap grab to make money. I have no idea how you'd make money off of it, but because Chrome and Opera won't let you remove this creepy "give us your data" feature, I have to assume it's money related.
I don't want that. I want options. If you want to give the option to sync up your personal data from your computer to some browser company's server, that's fine, so long as I can opt out and remove any reference to that shit.
I want complete control over the UI. I want to be able to remove absolutely every default element it comes with, no exceptions.

Animated themes like Opera 32
Got a question - does it speed up loading of web page ?! No.
Does it help in downloading files ?! No.
And so on …
Totally useless.There is a lot more of useful FUNCTIONS that we need e.g :
- page fitting to width of window.
- blacklist websites and ad blocker (touch now we can get Adblock plugin from chrome)
- bookmarks on context menu like in old opera 12 (File Edit View Bookmarks Tools Help)
- allow for more columns (9-12) in speed dial (we got wide screens), edit (change address) and resize items

If you want to give the option to sync up your personal data from your computer to some browser company's server, that's fine, so long as I can opt out and remove any reference to that shit.It's pretty useful when you have multiple PCs though I agree with being able to opting out.

The UI is made with CSS, HTML and Javascript and you can do a TON of customization. Here is a tutorial for adding the customizations and lots of customizations.

You can do that. Open vivaldi://extensions to manage them.

I have few requests.
- Settings window should open in a new tab
- About item in Help menu should be at bottom
-
- Settings window should open in a new tab
Tools, Settings, Appearance, Open Settings in a Tab.
-
- An easy way to install Chrome extensions.
Probably the best way is spoofing User Agent on Chrome store.
- Option to hide Mail button and other buttons on left panel
- A way to import Firefox data
- Switching tabs with mouse wheel is inverted. There should be a way to switch to next tabs with moving mouse wheel down.
*** Show location history on Previous location / Next location buttons when you right mouse click on them. (Just like in Firefox and Chrome)**

When closing a tab it goes back to the last active tab.
This is also a pet peeve of mine. I have Vivaldi set to cycle by "Tab Order", as I like working my way through from left to right (with their respective keyboard shortcuts).
Closing a tab is extremely annoying as it goes to the last used tab instead (which you very well highlighted).
I'd be happy enough if Vivaldi simply respects the cycling order set by the user.
