(History of) Vivaldi Feature Requests

Iterface related: Open new tab next to active. Like in real Opera.
-
When you open a new tab with middle click or whatever, it should open next to which tab it is called from.
-
You can toggle the tab bar a few different ways:
Thanks, but that is not what I meant. I meant a window with no tabs open - i.e. no speed dial, just an empty window. Currently when you close the last tab, a new one automatically opens. In Opera 12 there was an option for this (Preferences - Advanced - Tabs - Additional tab options… - Allow window with no tabs).
You can adjust the size of the UI by going to the Vivaldi settings > Appearance > User Interface Scale
Somehow I completely overlooked that, thank you!

Iterface related: Open new tab next to active. Like in real Opera.
But make it optional, please, I like my tabs to go to the "end of the line" (To keep unrelated stuff apart I use more than one window in more than one workspaces)

I wish I could have a address bar on full-screen mode. Probably not there all the time - or it would be a not-so-full-screen-ish mode
- but make it pop up with a keyboard short-cut (e.g. alt-D). -

If you assign a shortcut to toggle the address bar, you can show it in Chromeless mode (Ctrl F11), but not in fullscreen mode. The panels can be shown in fullscreen mode, so you can access your bookmarks.

The Go To Page dialogue in Opera 12.17 (F2 shortcut) was sometimes useful for browing in fullscreen mode.
Exactly. That's it (I have 12.16 and it works both with F2 or Alt+D)
you can show it in Chromeless mode (Ctrl F11), […] The panels can be shown in fullscreen mode […]
Nice, I haven't thought of no-UI mode, I guess it is a new concept to me
That is something already, might even get better, than full-screen, if customisable.I note that I seem to be unable to get the address bar in either mode, no-UI mode included; and the panels do not show on full-screen. (1.0.283 @ linux)

You're right about fullscreen mode (it works in Opera 12.17 and any toolbars can be shown too with shortcuts).
Chromless Mode (Ctrl F11) in Vivaldi does allow both toolbars and panels to be shown, at least in the Windows 32-bit version of the latest snapshot.

Ah. Well, afaik, it's not currently possible to change the destination of the new tab page. However, you could always set your home page to about:blank and use that instead.

I'm on the same version of Vivaldi here on Linux Mint 17.2 and I can toggle the address bar and panels in No-UI mode.
-
Ah! Got it.
It is two different actions.
- Showing the address bar is one, another is
- Making the address bar take the focus. (Alt+D)
So Alt+D only works if already there's a address bar. I had to define a keyboard short-cut to showit, and now it works as I want it.
So I guess I'm fine as it is.
Full-screen is for plain simple navigation (and nice for making a slide's presentation).
No-UI is shorthand to "clean all this stuff, now!",
and no-UI or not I can always show/hide any and everything (bookmarks, panels, tabs, address, status).Thanks, no need to have address bar on full-screen then.

This has probably been mentioned already as it seems like a bit of a no-brainer to me, but just in case it hasn't…
Can we please have an option to have new tabs opened in the same stack as the tab which has the link. New tabs / stacks would then only appear at the top when 'New Tab' was invoked or a tab was moved out of a stack. That way, I can open 'parent' tabs for things like Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, the work Sharepoint site, new Google searches etc and automatically keep everything organised without having to manually drag new tabs into the appropriate stack.
In tandem with this, the ability to apply a name to a tab stack to appear in place of the web page title would be great.

Off topic.
Is there a place where I can get documentation about how Vivaldi uses CSS/Javascript? -
Ctrl-K to delete everything after cursor in address field. Was a nice tiny feature in Opera 12.
-
@TBallmann:
Please let set an option to empty the browser cache on closing Vivaldi (with the parameters set in "Browserdaten löschen").
You can do this in a limited way by pasting this into your address bar: vivaldi://chrome/settings/content
Find Cookies > Keep local data until you quit your browser.

@TBallmann:
How to middle click without mouse or if the mouse has a scroll wheel (in that case the wheel will be out of order very quickly)
Just buy a decent mouse.
My m705, for example, is still working perfectly after 5 years or so of heavy usage.

How can i modify the speed dial to have more than 6 columns (e.g. 9-10, we got widescreens ) and manually decrease/increase size of items?
Some thing like in Opera 12 :
[attachment=1796]operaspeeddial.jpg[/attachment]I suggest adding option to block refresh, delete and edit (hopefully in future) buttons in speed dial because sometimes sh!t happens and instead of turn on I end up deleting item.

Make Quick Commands more useful:
1 Filter tabs on whatever is typed in. Otherwise commands and history are not even visible if you have 10+ tabs and require too much down arrow hits even you have 5 of them.
2. Allow to change order of things (open tabs, commands, history) or at least optionally remove tabs. This way it will permit predictable behaviour: press F2, type "plu", hit Enter and you get to Plugins Page. Now this doesn't work, tab filtering will make it work, but sometimes you will just open random website with "plu" in its title or URL.
3. Make matching fuzzy. E.g. "pp" for Plugins Page.
4. Add more things in: all the items from main menu, all the sections of settings, etc.
P.S. and please remove google search from there, we already have search bar and search in address bar. Or at least make it optional or lower priority, see 2.
-
A few other quick requests of small things I would like changed in the UI:
Remove the gradient from things like the + icon in the speed dial page, the x in the search bar, and the folders in the bookmarks bar. Make it flatter looking, so that it's more consistent with the overall flat design. Making the home button doorless for minimalism would help with that too, and help make the icons look more minimalistic like Edge. For that matter, scaling the icons to be large enough to align with the height of the address bar would help give it that feel as well.
Also, can you guys PLEASE just add in the option to remove extension icons??? Seriously, no matter how I'm told to remove the icons from Windows 10 running the 64-bit version of Vivaldi through CSS, it never works! I've tried those suggestions and I can't get it to work. I just want to be able to remove them.
When the Vivaldi team does make their own right click menu, they should also make the highlight color the color of what the website is. It's not much, but it's something nice to add for consistency. This was something someone else suggested it be done In red, but I thought it would be cool if it was done in the color of the website you're on.
Make the clicking of items on the bookmarks bar trigger a transition animation. Make the items pop out and down from it's folder.
And for that matter, make EVERY little click in the browser trigger a smooth animation, in and out(a la Material Design), of whatever you're doing and going for within the browser. It'll make it feel very modern. Optimize it for best and smooth performance possible.
One thing I would love to add with making smooth transitions is the use of smoothly adding, deleting, and switching between tabs. Yes, tabs are so crucial to everyday web browsing, and the smooth transition of these would add to the modern feel and performance of the browser.
This could be a part performance, part UI upgrade, but I would love it if switching between tabs triggered the color change to transition smoothly to the color of the website you're switching to, rather than abruptly changing colors. The shade of red from the Vivaldi website, transforming into the green of the TechCrunch site when you've switched tabs.
And when you've added a new tab, make it so a tab pops up from the end, expands and fills it's space beside the other tabs, and the other tabs moving accordingly to fit the new tab with the rest. And when you're closing a tab, do the opposite. Make it contract into nothing and have the other tabs smoothly expanding to refill the space of the closed tab.
With the panel, having smooth transitions overall would also help greatly in the making of a modern feeling browser.
And guys, I don't mean for animations and things like that to make the browser inefficient so as to make the animations slow and clunky. I'm talking about quick, fluid animations. You wouldn't have enough time to click on the target area of the screen before the animation ends, and so, when done right, makes the browser feel fast.

Feature request:
Add right-click on image > image properties just like Opera had to get detailed information on a picture (like aperture, camera make, exposure, iso, focal length, etc - when available).
