@JulianSteinmann The command "Focus Address Field" (default shortcut F8 or Ctrl+L) works without the address bar being enabled.

@flooners You can ask here: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/27450/what-is-the-status-of-vb-already-reported-bug-issue

@iAN-CooG It would be like an option in the "Main Page" section of Vivaldi's options. It could be a question that says: When do you open the Main Page, you want to autofocus ...? The search bar, or The address bar

@jesus2099 Fine. I will tag the thread as Resolved.

@Pesala Thanks for hinting.

@gwen-dragon said @derDay Welche Erweiterung war es denn? Stylus Ich habe es jetzt mal schon (typisch schnelle Modde) für dich gemacht. hatte ich nach dem Abschicken dann auch schon gemerkt

@Gwen-Dragon You're right but you can just replace the "Start Page - Vivaldi" window title in the script with the one in your language. You can use the AutoHotkey's Window Spy to obtain the window title or just open a new tab and use Alt+Tab or Win+Tab where the window titles are visible or hover over the Vivaldi application in the taskbar. Nevertheless, this solution is Windows only and also works only if you open the new tab with a shortcut, therefore it would be really nice to have this feature baked in Vivaldi directly.

@josephj11 I noticed that some users are often unfriendly. They need to make more allowance for different computer abilities and language skills. When one is an expert, it is hard to remember how hard things were at first. I see far too many duplicate feature requests, but although it annoys me, I usually respond with a link to the appropriate thread and a tip on adding search to a panel. The Advanced Forum Search also has a learning curve. Pick the right search term Filter by forums Limit the time span to six months or less. Try different search terms if the first gives too many pages of results to be useful. The above search finds a relevant thread at the top of the second page. The settings search is pretty good: "focus" would have found the result quickly. Documentation will always lag behind developments and is often not read by new users. Writing good documentation is not a complete waste of time, but it should not be a high priority. One learns more quickly from forums; often getting several routes to the same answer.

@pesala I submitted the report

@jkierzkowski This sounds more like a bug than a feature request, so I moved your thread to All Platforms. Have you submitted a Bug Report

@iAN-CooG Thank you so much! Has made using vivaldi so much better - even though it's such a small change.

would cairo-dock work for this? when i had cairo, there were more animations and layouts than i could ever use.

Yeah, I run into this constantly daily and it's a real pain.
