Command chains – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 2350.3

[Pesala]

Clone Tab and Tile Horizontally

Command chains open endless possibilities.
The weekend is going to be busy.

Command chains can also be executed with mouse gestures, e.g. GestureLeft, GestureDown, GestureRight to Clone a tab and tile it with the original tab to get a split tab.

@pesala: This!

It’s a little silly, but I made a command chain for copying the page address. This is already available as mouse gesture and menu entry by default on Vivaldi, but if you want it from quick commands, or trigger it with keyboard shortcut, a chain is the way to go I guess.

Recipe
Name: Copy Page Address

1. Focus Address Field
2. Select All
3. Copy
4. Sleep
   Parameter: 50
5. Focus Page

Could someone try and mix chain commands with mods such as Follower Tab? I tried make one to open a new tab with a bookmarlet style mod, the tile and use.

[luetage]

@masterleo29 I don’t know whether that’s possible, but you could copy the link and then try something like this:

1. New Tab
2. Sleep
   Parameter: 100
3. Focus Address Field
4. Paste and Go
5. Tile Vertically

@luetage interesting, I tried something similar but with mixed results. I want a paste clipboard and go in a new tab

then associated in keyboard settings as Alt+Shift+Z.
The new tab is opened, the clipboard content gets pasted in the address bar of the new tab, but the actual paste and go command happens in the tab where the command is issued.

[luetage]

@ian-coog You need a sleep command instead of the select next command and it should work. Select next tab shouldn’t be needed, because a new tab is active by default.

A suggest from the AHK scripts:

Always is a good idea to put a sleep between commands (between 100 and 300 milliseconds).

Always.

[iAN CooG]

@luetage I tried sleep and it strangely did STOP the execution of any subsequent actions.
I found out that VivaldiHooks mod named speeddial-shortcuts.js interferes with this new Vivaldi feature.
I have now disabled that js mod and added a Sleep 100 instead of selecting the Next Tab as you suggested, and it works.

Errr... Vivaldi crashes almost instantly after I start it...

@davikar Same here, same Windows. Using Edge here is not fun.

Edit: Ok, it seems that deleting the Preferences file in my profile stops it crashing. I may need to put a previous Vivaldi somewhere so I can copy over the important ones.

I just got excited about command chains and I realised they can't be added to menus. I hope that the known issues cover that.

@davikar: log out from your sync profile

[MasterLeo29]

Is it me, or did the page actions went missing ?

[Davikar]

@mizouniihichem Thanks, that worked!

[gworboys]

In the last snapshot I was complaining that those videos with the AAC audio problems for others were simply jumping to the end and not playing at all on mine. The problem is resolved in this snapshot. Thank you!

Items from the chain don't show up in quick commands. What am I missing?

[jumpsq]

@juanvase I missed / did not understand this (and somehow expected Quick Command to be the place to work since it's made for QC?!); plus I guess that I still cannot follow how to execute it via QC ("command" or "rename" don't show anything either), but since shortcuts are much more interesting to me here, I won't argue for now.

Command chains？　
Concatenate Commands of Opera-presto are finally back to life?
I'm stoked!!

[jumpsq]

@shifte It doesn't quite have the same power yet (e.g. do something else when a command cannot run, like Show panel, -1 | Hide panel, -1 which does either open or close the panel depending on its state), but it definetly goes into the correct direction.

Also, this delay stuff is kind of cumbersome. With O12, I just opened, switched, went to an address, emulated a keystroke, ... all with one button - and it ran in correct order. Here, we have to use delay and hope that it runs in the correct order. But this is a bigger problem with Chromium / Vivaldi.

As an example, take

It should just open a URL in background tab (yes, I know that there is Open Link in Background Tab already), but it produces gibberish results, the URL that I copy interacting with the UI (switching tabs?) instead of being pasted, ...
It's the same old synchronisation issue with the UI in vivaldi that I still cannot quite grasp.

PS: sorry for being negative here, as mentioned before, I absolutely love the feature - but it makes some existing issues more prominent, which may be a good reason to resolve them.
