Putting multiple commands on the same shortcut can make sense, if the commands are context aware (in some contexts command 1 is triggered, in other contexts command 2 is triggered). Not sure if there are any context-limited commands in Vivaldi, though.
@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!
@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.
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.
