Let me illustrate this with pics, with sort by LIST: if Filter by store.steampowered.com > Select all > Delete, Vivaldi will delete every DAY's history with matched entry: To delete ONLY the matched result/entries, one must deselect all DAY entry after Select all command, before execute Delete: IMHO compare this to sort by Month method, it's actually much more troublesome & more likely to delete full DAY of history by mistake. I'm not sure if this is by design behavior or a bug, & what's the advantage of such behavior in practical usage as a "feature". I hope Vivaldi dev will revise & improve this behavior if they read this post.

I have seen this too, just thought I was going crazy; its not all but some that disappear. I am pretty sure its the sync that is the culprit, as I have seen this happening in FF during its infancy with sync.

@DeeOhhEff said in Option to Delete Selected Text Using the Mouse: Some day, you programmers May appreciate the need for this feature. That is unfair. Just because the developers are young and healthy (and that's not known) it does not mean that they don't care about accessibility issues. One poor guy has only one wheel on his bike. Of some 1,437 feature requests, this one has just two votes, while others with over 100 are still waiting to be fixed. The Vivaldi Team is small (15 developers), and they have to prioritise on fixing bugs first, then implementing the long-promised email-client and mobile browser, so adding features comes only after those two. I always suggest workarounds if possible, because some features may take years to implement. It may be frustrating, but there it is. The business is not making money yet.

@jane-n Thanks. Looking better now.

Yeah, would be quite useful even for moved files (which are like they were removed). It's pointless to have listed items that actually go nowhere.

There is delete confirmation for deleting search engine in settings, but no confirmation when deleting session where you can have tens of tabs saved. It's absurd

@CheVe11e_191 What is good for the goose is good for the gander. I read your post and understood its purpose. What about you? Did you understand the purpose of mine?

@pesala I'm trying to accomplish the delete without using the keyboard (otherwise I would just use the Delete key directly). Highlighting text with the mouse and then right-clicking normally brings up "Delete" as one of many options with most Windows applications (including other browsers, and apps as basic as Notepad and Windows Explorer - see image below for Explorer example), so it's something I've just been doing for many years. To me this just seems to be a common function, but as I mentioned in my opening post, I have a similar issue with OpenOffice (which is even more surprising, since one of its modules is a word processor). So that made me think that the right-click "Delete" option may be less common for operating systems other than Windows (otherwise, why not include it automatically in an application?). Well others have said that it's currently not built in to Vivaldi, so I'll probably post it as a feature request for future versions. Thanks to all who took the time to respond!
