Pressing 'Ctrl+Shift' with some text selected brings up a small card with the selected text on it which can only be closed by clicking the red cross in the top-right corner. It's VERY annoying when you reply to a tweet and edit text online ... WHAT is it?
-
To me it's some of your extensions, I see even in the blurry pic that you have some. Disable all of them and reenable one at a time to see who's causing it.

Gwen-Dragon & iAN CooG,
Both the 'Ctrl+Shift' and the 'Google images search' problems that I have are caused by the New Tab & Start Page Pro extension which I use for Speed dial [FVD] to work.
I need a good Speed dial because Vivaldi's native doesn't allow 6 columns fixed. Any advice?

you'll have both free speeddial geometry, use your preferred images instead of autogenerated thumbs, and lot more mods, until they're added to vivaldi itself. -
How does one install it? I've copied the contents of "vivaldi" folder into "Vivaldi\Application{version}\resources\vivaldi" and ran "installhooks.bat" -the speed dial didn't went to 6 columns ... So could you, please, describe the installation?
-
It's all explained in rather correct english in here
https://github.com/justdanpo/VivaldiHooks
I'm not going to repeat it here, would be redundant -
Stupid of me, one just needed to run the *.bat file - I'm not accustomed to this kind of "software packages" ...
Yet, the newly added speed dial options are useless, as do not affect the speed-dial ... How does one get them to work? -
@Med1aN1ck It may need modifying if you are on snapshot (latest Vivaldi has some speeddial changes). Best to check on the VivaldiHooks thread.

@Med1aN1ck check settings/start page

@TbGbe
Now, here I begin to doubt whether it will bring more trouble than it was supposed to save me. If anyone knows how to get the 'speed-dial geometry' script to work, OR a good speed-dial extension with 6 columns for Vivaldi, other than Speed dial [FVD] 3D, please post it here, thank you. -
Got Speed dial [FVD] to work with this tip:
@The_Solutor said in How do I set up Speed Dial 2?:
Ok.
Tested and it works
Just replace all the occourrences of
chrome-extension://mpognobbkildjkofajifpdfhcoklimli/components/startpage/startpage.html
with
chrome-extension://llaficoajjainaijghjlofdfmbjpebpa/newtab.html
in bundle.js
To fully replace the stock SD with FVD speed dial.
-
you don't need an extension for speed dial, set your homepage as vivaldi://startpage
-
To get the Speed-dial extensions to work is easy:
To get Speed dial [FVD] to work paste
chrome-extension://llaficoajjainaijghjlofdfmbjpebpa/newtab.html
into Settings/Tabs/New Tab Page/ address
and for Speed Dial 2:
chrome://newtab
Setting vivaldi://startpage as Homepage does not modify the parameters of the built-in Vivaldi speed dial, i.e. make more thank 6 columns ...
-
@Med1aN1ck as already said, check under settings/start page, vivaldihooks add the settings for the speed dial there, other than that, i don't know anymore how to help.
-
Specifying vivaldi://startpage in Settings/STARTUP does not affect the number of columns of the speed-dial - with or without Vivaldihooks. While changing the parameters on the Start Page tab of the Settings, WITH VivaldiHooks installed also did not increase the # of speed-dials in a row - simply put, Vivaldihooks 'speed-dial geometry' did not work, for me at least .. As TbGbe pointed out:
It may need modifying if you are on snapshot (latest Vivaldi has some speeddial changes). Best to check on the VivaldiHooks thread.
Well, I do not want to go to the trouble as to peruse this developers' thread, I am a user and don't intend to go beyond that .. This is why I posted the workarounds for the 2 speed-dial Chrome extensions, which enable them to perform in Vivaldi. I'm convinced Vivaldihooks' speed-dial doesn't work in the instance of Vivaldi which I'm using, however WHEN it works I'll be glad to give it a try.
To be clear again, I've had this new interface appear in the Settings, but it was totally dysfucntional:
Thanks for your help @iAN-CooG nonetheless, much appreciated.
-
I use always latest snapshots, and den_po adapted as usual vivaldihooks to work on latest snapshots. Infact, the SD geometry requires the 1.6 branch exactly due to the new SD internal modifications. It was a lack of communication, I didn't know you weren't using the newest snapshot.
-
Yes, noW clear. I WANT to explore and use Vivaldihooks, for its other various features, thanks for suggesting it. BTW what's a Snapshot, and why aren't the newest version packages aren't available for download on the official site?
-
They are, at https://vivaldi.net/en-US/
which is the link opened by menu Help/Community
