@gwen-dragon Thanks for the update. Will not bring up this topic again. In the meanwhile, I also tested Autohotkey, and interestingly the macros work UNLESS they are assigned to, OR send the Alt key within the macro. My next test will be in Linux with Autokey. I use both of these keyboard macro programs in Wikipedia. . . . . will let you, just for the record.

Up voted - I want to mimic Chromes keyboard+mouse shortcut for opening new tabs: In Chrome: Shift+click = open in new window Ctrl+Shift+click = open in new tab and focus that tab In Vivaldi these actions are swapped For someone new to Vivaldi coming from Chrome their habits will need to be re-learned, it should be pretty easy to allow users to re-assign these.

@Gwen-Dragon Thanks for the reply! I did some digging and found a pertinent blog post that I was able to use to get it working (and another source of useful info). In the Registry Editor (so use this information solely at your own risk), I: Removed HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AppKey\7 Added HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AppKey\7\ShellExecute = the path to Vivaldi. Works fine now! The REG file is below in case it helps anyone. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AppKey\7] "ShellExecute"="C:\\Users\\me\\Vivaldi\\Application\\vivaldi.exe" Save it as WebHomeKeyVivaldi.reg, edit it in Notepad to change C:\\Users\\me\\Vivaldi to wherever your Vivaldi installation is, and double-click to merge it.

@altcode One of the very unique things about Vivaldi is that you interact with it through a web-based UI that's rendered by the underlying Chromium web engine. That approach is quite powerful and flexible, and has a lot of upsides when it comes to implementing features cross-platform... but the downside is that it can sometimes make native platform integration quite challenging.

@amanda121287 Shift and arrow selects text in text editors/fields and command-shift-arrow selects text from the cursor to the beginning/end of the line. This is intended behaviour on macOS. It shouldn't switch tab-focus, you should check keyboard settings in vivaldi://settings/keyboard/ to find out, if you have anything conflicting in there.

That is a old unsolved bug in Vivaldi with all extensions. No know timeline to fix this yet. Bug VB-14668 "Extensions' keyboard shortcuts don't work"

Thanks to all who took the trouble to test it. and especially to @Gwen-Dragon for taking the trouble to report it. I really appreciate it.

Thanks guys for your opinions so far! The idea just came to my mind, as I noticed me moving away from the keyboard to the mouse just to perform a single gesture and after that leaving the mouse again. It interrupts my workflow. And since I memorized the gestures anyway why not making it possible to use them with the keys. I use about eleven gestures regularly. I don't think of drawing a gesture with the arrow keys (as someone mentioned above) but of a simple key stroke equivalent. For example the gestures as I have configured them on my machine: Go to page top: left -> [[somekey]] [Arrow left] Go to page bottom: right -> [[somekey]] [Arrow right] Go to homepage: right bottom -> [[somekey]] [Arrow right] [Arrow bottom] ... [[somekey]] means, that the specific key for mouse gestures has to be pressed as long as the arrow keys keep coming and after finished it gets released. Again, it was just an idea. Have a nice week!

This is similar to my request for the Bookmarks Bar Using the Bookmarks Tab it seems to be impossible using just the keyboard. Using the Bookmarks Panel it is possible, but tricky: Use your shortcut to open the Bookmarks Panel (F6 or whatever) Shift+Tab to focus the Search field Type the search string or Nick Name to find your bookmark Press Tab to focus the bookmarks list Down cursor to focus the found bookmark Enter or Shift+Enter to open the Bookmark Way too difficult, but not impossible.

Chrome beta (68.0.3440.68) has an "emoji" entry in text boxes which seems to use the OS ones. So, who knows, maybe they'll come in the next chromium bump.

@gwen-dragon said in Vivaldi does not respect Xenforo composition boxes re. Navigation!: you can remove the Backspace for navigation: On second thought, I now have done this. I very seldom use BS for navigation, preferring gestures or the toolbar. This should hold me over until the next release. Thanks.

Updating this Old Thread The Bookmarks Menu is now available via Alt+B, so all bookmarks can be accessed using the keyboard. Although Access keys are assigned automatically, they are not underlined so it would take some practice to memorise them. Underlining can be added by editing bookmark titles in the Bookmarks Panel to add an & preceding the desired access key: Mailbo&x Settings &Modding Vivaldi &Old Versions &Snapshots vs Stable Sync &Internals Vivaldi &Tips &VB Status

Hi, we are investigating the issue, thanks for the reports!

@leggettc13 said in A way to override Keyboard Shortcuts for specific pages?: I have a feeling this is a bug that will be fixed I have a feeling that you're having the right feeling. Unfortunately, there's no "master" switch for the keyboard shortcuts, so I guess you're better off using another browser for that one website until the bug is finally fixed...

When I write 'key combinations' I mean "keyboard shortcuts" @AgFar
