TAB key not working?

rkzn

I note that I filed a bug report. And pointed them to this thread.

(but off course, anyone can make another, possibly better than mine)

Current (sorry!) Workaround is disabling Shortcuts in Vivaldi :
Open Settings -> Keyboard

Disable keyboard shortcuts

Besides disabling the most used keystroke 'CTRL-T' - it doesn't anything to solve the problem!

I'm a new Vivaldi user (just installed today after getting fed up with the new Opera version) and have this problem. The tab key does nothing (such as when I try to tab forward through elements on a webpage). Suggestions in this thread haven't helped.

I'm running Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS with Maté. Vivaldi is 1.0.435.42 () (32-bit).

@Gwen-Dragon:

Please, which bugnumber?

Found it: VB-15630 "TAB key is not working on webpages(forms, fields)."

Nope. Mine was:

VB-14801, "TAB key not working", from April 1

ITPPA

+1
Tab don't change input fied
Kubuntu 14.04 LTS i386 (KDE!) Last Vivaldi release (fresh install yesterday).

Same here; My 'Tab" key stopped working a few snapshots ago, sorry, don't remember which one but I sent a bug report promptly after I upgraded & noticed the problem. Sorry again, I don't know the VB number either. The developers should be aware of this problem, though. I'm using the latest stable version, 1.0.435.42 () (32-bit), Rev. 575538bc320e213510be1e66f3521382e615129d & Linux Mint v17.2, MATE edition, incidentally. And I also made the changes to the keyboard settings but to no avail.

Même problème depuis passage de la dernière version beta à vivaldi-stable 32-bit sur LinuxMint Rosa.

c.debard

Aucun problème. Je signalais simplement.

Same here! between some other issues, like the adress bar search not working from the first search, showing me the same page and forcing to make the search again… im using lubuntu 15 on a laptop.

Wireaddict

"le bug est pas résolu. S'il te plait, attend la prochaine version."

Gwen-Dragon: did you say, 'the bug is not resolved. Please wait the next version'? If this is correct the rest of the gang with this problem will be glad to hear it! [It's been over 50 years since I took high school French so this is a guess.]

Wireaddict

I'm pleased to report that the Tab Key bug appears to be resolved since I upgraded to v1.1.453.47 last night. I also tested the Tab Key function with Smooth Scrolling both enabled & disabled [after closing & restarting Vivaldi each time] & it works both ways. Well done, thanks!

rkzn

I confirm it is working also for me, using the snapshot (1.1.453.45)

Thank you, to Wireaddict, for warning here.

Thank you also to the devs for building and fixing, but please, please, do not break basic functionality for nearly 2 months on a regular basis.

I am trying to use it in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 32 bit edition.

Tab key is not working for navigation.
Tried all options suggested by people.

Kindly help.

Navigation inside the browser.
eg. when signing up, enter username and use tab key to go to password field.
when filling any form, you write text and use tab key to move to the next question.
also while composing email, you add recipient email and then use tab key to go to subject.
then once done, again use tab key to go to the main body.

This way use of tab key becomes very useful and friendly.
Right now, this has to be done with a mouse click and is really inconvenient.
Thanks.

which Vivaldi version?

The issue with the tab key has been fixed quite recently for my case.

(alas, Youtube videos do not work now… sound only... but let's not go too much into off topic )

Did you try to disable the hardware acceleration? In my case worked. To find it, paste in url bar:```
vivaldi://chrome/settings/search#hardware

Did not notice when this got resolved as I have been using input device to switch input fields (a pain).

Many Thanks to Vivaldi Devs for fixing this issue !!
