This is the best browser I've ever used, coming from Opera, Chrome, Edge and Firefox, let's go!

@ankush Sorry, I don't have any insights into when the Vivaldi team will start working on this (or any other) bug.

Hi, this request has a newer but more voted duplicate.

@Mangold said in Open "Search with" in Background Tab by holding a key:

Unfortunately the quick command does not work with "Search selection with Engine..."

It works for me, but the command chain must be repeated for each search engine that you might want to use — workable for 2 or 3 most used, but not for all 80 of them!

This feature request is already implemented.

@entity said in Behavior of Search-Box when selecting suggestions with keyboard:

This is still/again broken. Now arrow keys are ignored if Num-Lock or Caps-Lock is active.

Ah so it's due to NumLock being active, I see. I couldn't understand why someone else said Down Arrow worked for selecting engine. At least now I know :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_closed_eyes:

With NumLock on you can actually press Shift+Down Arrow to get the history and Tab will select. But it should be Arrow keys. And still can't delete entries with keyboard.

Also I believe the best would be to have Down Arrow to select history, and Shift+Down Arrow to select engine. Because using search history is usually the most common thing done, while selecting active engine is rarer.

Hi, Unfortunately the developers have decided to mark this request as "Will not do", which means this request won't be implemented in Vivaldi.

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

If this was a bug, it seems to be fixed now.

Specs: AMD A10-6800K, 8 Gb on Win 10 64-bit 1809 build 17763.504 • Snapshot 2.6.1546.4 (64-bit)

It is indeed a shame Vivaldi lacks so much in this sort of UI integration. Accessibility should be one of Vivaldi's assets. You can enable the Chromium setting, yet the UI integration isn't there. It would be better if Vivaldi had integrated it into its own user interface including custom shortcuts (currently F7 is focus panel and Shift+Arrows is for spatial navigation).
The Scroll Lock suggestion is a great one, I also mentioned that to the devs some time ago. Integration with spatial navigation is still something to think about.
