Separate Position Settings for New Tab and Open in New Tab
-
PLEASE DO THIS!
Not only does it make sense, but, for me, it is also an accessibility issue. This would be very helpful! -
+1 here as well

@LeMaster Vote for the first post if you haven't already done so. (Voting again will remove your vote).

I very much support this feature request!
Re: tab stack workaround: I tried tab stacks but I found I was accidentally stacking tabs and then 'losing' the tabs because the tab stack indicators are too subtle.
@Nisc3d said in Separate Position Settings for New Tab and Open in New Tab:
I need this feature so much (and I don't want to use tab stacks). An addition to it: it should also include clicking on a link with the mouse wheel to open a new tab.
Generally, the mouse wheel click maps to a middle click, which maps to "open link in new window" when clicking on a link. Since the request is to have an option for "open link in new window" to have a separate configuration, I anticipate that if the feature were added, it would also work with the mouse wheel.

@DannyRomano To obtain what you want use the extension "Tab Position Options":
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tab-position-options/fjccjnfkdkdmjohojoggodkigkjkkjhl
You define that the "Start Page" always open last and the "new tab" right of current tab, as in settings:
This extension do many other things like define where a link in a page open: in New tab or the Current Tab.
Give it a try.

@barbudo2005 Thanks for the tip about Tab Position Options, but I can't get it to work. I have set the new tab page to vivaldi://startpage (in the Vivaldi settings), and I have the New Tab settings as you showed them, but my new tabs (Ctrl-T) don't get placed at the end of all tabs; they get placed after the tab group that contains the current tab.
It also seems that it doesn't make a difference whether I set it to "always last" or "always first" in the extension settings. Am I missing something?

Something changed that now it not works.
If you bookmark the Start Page the URL now is :
I try with this new URL but not works.

@gerhard234 This configuration works:
Make a blank (dark if you want) page in your hard disk:
file:///C:/Instalacion/2VIVALDI/Page.htm
This Vivaldi settings:
And this setting in the extension:
Links with "Open link in new tab" opens to the right of current tab and Page.htm opens at last with CTRL+t:

@barbudo2005 Thanks for digging into this! Following your lead, I got it to work a bit differently.
Vivaldi settings:
Tab Position Options settings:
The one thing that's a bit ugly is that for a new Ctrl-T tab, I have the URL of the custom new tab page instead of an empty address bar, so I need to hit Ctrl-A to select all of it before typing what I really want.
This still feels like a kludgy work-around to get something that to me feels like a basic multi-tab browser behavior.

@barbudo2005 Thanks. I have this option checked, but for some reason the address is not selected after a Ctrl-T.
-
@gerhard234 The address is selected when you click it not after a CTRL+t.
-
@barbudo2005 Not in my case. I definitely don't click in it.
This is the sequence as I see it:
- I hit Ctrl-T.
- Vivaldi opens a new tab (at the end).
- The address field is initially empty.
- It quickly gets filled with the local URL of my custom "new tab" page.
- After this, the address field has the focus, with the cursor after the last character, the text not being selected.
And I do have the configuration you indicated:
-
+1, yes please. This boggles my mind because it just feels natural to open tabs from page as cloned, and new-new tabs at the end.
Tab stacks, yes, but i don't want to have only them on my first tabbar. Option should be hard to implement too, since it's easy to diffirentiate between new page and any other page.
-
@dannyromano Yes yes yes. Need this desperately. A glaring ommision.
