Treat Vivaldi Tabs as Windows for Alt+Tab Navigation

[mchipeur]

I searched and found some related requests, but could not find a conclusive solution. For work-flow reasons I am leaning towards going to Microsoft Edge because in Edge Tabs appear as Windows when using Alt+Tab navigation - tabs show up along with other app windows. This is very useful to me in my work.

Is there a way to get Vivaldi to do this, apart from manually opening each tab as a new window? Alternately, as a secondary choice, is there a way to make Vivaldi always (by default) open new tabs as new windows?

Reassign Ctrl+T to open a new window, and stop using the new tab button.

@Pesala Thank you. This works for creating new windows using CTRL+T. Unfortunately, when clicking on a link in emails they open as new tabs not windows.

@mchipeur There is an option to open new links in new windows. If that is not present in your version, or not where you want it, the menus can be customised in Settings, Appearance.

@Pesala thank you for your help!

I tried to change setting to open links in new windows but the only option shown is Open links in New Tab. (see screenshot)

I could not find "Open links in New Window"

For navigation within a tab stack, you can use Ctrl[-Shift]-Tab.

Sorry, that's for historical navigation.

@mchipeur You are looking in the wrong place.

Settings, Appearance, Menu Customisation, Link, Context Commands, Open Link in New Window.
