@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

It seems fixed for me. 2.8.1664.40 (Stable channel) (64 bits)

@potmeklecbohdan said in When opening History, have cursor default to search box: Ain’t this done? Yes, it seems that it is.

@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 😉

Note also that the script given above may give very weird results when the active window is switched by a popup or another program just when you press ctrl+t, this version ensures that when that happens the script won't send the other ctrl+l unexpectedly much later by adding a one-second max time between the ctrl+t and ctrl+l. ; Have the address bar open when you press ctrl+t by adding a ctrl+l right after it. ; Workaround for bug described here: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/30740/ #IfWinActive, ahk_exe vivaldi.exe ^t:: Send, ^t WinWait , Start Page - Vivaldi,, 1 Send, ^l return #IfWinActive Compile this with AutoHotkey, and move either the executable or a shortcut to it to this location to have it startup when you boot your computer: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp

@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 🙂

At last!

@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

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

At last! Fixed in snapshot 1302.3! [Window] Wrong window focus after opening URL from other application (VB-21856) :-)) (BTW, the bug I submitted was VB-12905)

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