Please, add this feature to Vivaldi! When Opera 12 was abandoned, I switched to Firefox. There, I had to find separate addons to have the same features. For example, mouse gestures, undo closed tabs and speed dial. Unfortunately, I can only assign shortcuts in an old "Fast Dial" version, that works only in Palemoon and Firefox. I was forced to switch to a modern browser at work. So, I had to install an extension and write a Javascript code to make a keyboard shortcut just to open a page in a new tab! And it doesn't work everywhere. At home, I use more keyboard shortcuts to open bookmarks. I understand, that some extensions enhanced Opera 12 features, so I don't expect unlimited shortcuts. But please, add at least add a way to use Control+1..9 shortcuts for bookmarks. I've been using this feature for more than a decade!

@DV20Katana said in Drag and drop the URL in Bookmark Bar folders AND subfolders menus, and tranform the link into an ACTUAL bookmark: it was just something I had gotten used to in Chrome and old habits die hard I believe there is a mod to make the bookmarks bar have auto-hide functionality. If you're not familiar with it already, give the Modifications category a browse. I don't really like autohide functionality, so I just use keyboard shortcuts & mouse gestures to hide/show various elements of the UI when I want to use them or reclaim the space. There are a ton of actions, far more than most if not all other browsers, that can have whatever keyboard shortcuts or mouse gestures assigned to them in the settings. There are a few mods, however, that might be exactly what you want. Give them a look and try them out, mods aren't difficult to install, just read the pinned thread in the category. Auto hide bookmark bar ※ Autohide address bar transition Addressbar top autohide bookmarks ※ I haven't used or even really looked into these mods, but I'd start with this one probably. I agree, I will learn to use a new workflow in Vivaldi. Admittedly I do find the Bookmarks Panel very busy and a little clunky to use vs the Bar but the more I use it the faster I'll get. Will also experiment with using other methods. I find the Bookmarks Panel to be fundamental to my bookmark management workflow, and part of what makes Vivaldi superior to other browsers for that task. With the Bookmarks Manager in a tab & the Bookmarks Panel open, I've got two independent views into my bookmarks library which can be scrolled to different locations with different parts of the treeview expanded, different searches, etc. You can customize the panel to make it cleaner of course. You may not realize that the bookmark details pane at the bottom of the panel can be resized & even hidden simply by dragging the dividing bar between it and the treeview. Just be aware that if you completely hide it, when you create a new folder it will not automatically be in a state where you can edit the folders name simply by typing -- that only happens if you have enough of the details pane displayed to see the title. It's not a problem, it just means you need to hit the edit keyboard shortcut (F2) before typing the new folder's name, but something to be aware of to avoid confusion. Aside from that, I actually find the panel to be less busy than the manager. But everything is highly configurable: you can get rid of columns you don't want in the manager with a right-click, things that aren't directly exposed through options & menus can usually be changed through a mod. I used to mod the panel a bit until Vivaldi made what I was doing possible through the UI. Just an additional, somewhat related thought. Modern displays are typically widescreen, while the content we consume is portrait in orientation, and extremely tall portrait dimensions when you scroll. Vertical screen real estate is a premium because of this, while horizontal real estate is often wasted. I typically hide the Bookmarks Bar (and some other toolbars) to reclaim the real estate for the content, and put my tabs bar on the left & panel on the right making use of otherwise wasted space. You can still have a persistent view into you bookmarks that way, and having the tabs & panel on opposite sides helps to center the content on screen. Hope all that helps. Happy Surfing, BoneTone

This feature would be really useful for work/home/other speed dials.

I am not sure how often I'd use it but I can see it's usefulness especially if you can export Bookmarks to SQlite.

I'd like to have this as well.

@junker said in Split Bookmark Pane: I got spoiled with it as a standard feature in Opera. Then I found an addin for Firefox. But since the switch to "quantum" the addin doesn't work and I've been limping along with an old ESR version of Firefox. Exactly the same situation for me, except I finally had to switch to Vivaldi. Split bookmark pane is so much useful than the default "full tree" pane. It's so much faster to use your bookmarks when the pane is split to folders and folder contents. Hopefully Vivaldi team implements this.

This could be considered as DONE unless anyone thinks there is anything to discuss. Not all users have a MMB, so Ctrl+Click probably works for all users. Right-click, Open in Background tab is an alternative for those who have no MMB, and don't want the folder to remain open, but do want to open bookmarks in a new background tab, MMB is a simple way to open bookmarks in a background tab without leaving the folder open.

@Pesala thank you. I tested Vivaldi 2 years ago and still unchanged in this.

Convenience. I can set a nice toggle to open on the side of the screen so it takes up no space space when I don't want it, and when I do it's there immediately with all the management capabilities and flexibility it offers. I'm also extremely used to using the sidebar through years of using it in Opera 12.x and earlier, and after that Firefox/Waterfox though the All in One Sidebar extension. Alas, such an extension is no longer possible in modern versions of Firefox and Waterfox Classic will inevitably slowly grow outdated so I'm slowly trying to transition to Vivaldi as the last browser left that allows real user customization.

@vkyf Try the context menu on Bookmarks Bar folders. Add separator is not there yet, but one can add folders, and add a bookmark at the current position in a folder. With over 2,700 feature requests, and a small team, those needed by few users or difficult to implement may have to wait for a long time. Wherever you see that a feature is tagged as In Progress, it may get done this year rather than next.

For all the features Vivaldi has, I was surprised to find this missing It's especially unfortunate because floating panel with auto close makes it impossible to drag a bookmark into the bookmark manager either

@SolidRock Please vote for the existing request. Option to Place Bookmarks Bar on the Side

I've made a similar request for improving that dialog box: Collapse Folders when Adding a Bookmark. I compared it to the Firefox's implementation, where you can add a new folder, collapse folders (as @kgrace88 and @armour mentioned in this thread) etc.

I'm marking this as done. If you click "open" when right clicking a bookmark bar folder, you can use that to open all the tabs of that folder. There is however still a lack of support for the full bookmark hierarchy.

@Pesala Thanks. How do you do it?
