Snapshot 1.0.201.2 Improvements to Search Engine Management, Spatial Navigation, Gray look and the foundations for customisable mouse gestures
-
Can you tell me more about this? How/when does it happen? Please file a bug.

I'll get his mug up there as soon as he arrives here in Magnolia!

Not working on https://www.privatesearch.io

Now it came to my mind - while you're at it, you can make search engines reorderable. Would be very handy.

RuarÃ! Welcome "back"! I missed you because you had been the most patient, constructive, positive, and attentive to the users, among the Opera employees I'd seen. (Is that you, isn't it? although you don't say where you worked before joining Vivaldi.)
-
You quit Opera?
-
ruari ! welcome back
-
More like Opera disbanded the entire Oslo desktop team.

Ctrl + E should go to Search engines…
CTRL + 0 = Reset... -
Now that they work again I use the Spatial Navigation keys almost exclusively in Vivaldi and I've always used them in Opera 12. The caret browsing that is available in other browsers works but su^Hets my teeth on edge trying to use it until I give up, take my hand off the keyboard and grab the mouse so I can clickety-click my way through a page.
Aside from not having to take my hands off of the keyboard to grab a mouse, I can only surmise that fixing up Spatial Navigation gives the developers something visual to do and add to the snapshots that feels like progress while they hammer out the bigger bugs from the new Mail interface and possibly Sync. I'm actually more interested in Sync than Mail.
The problem with polls and user complaints/feedback is when you've already lost part of the audience. People probably didn't complain about losing Spatial Navigation because the ones that actually use it had already decided they didn't like new Opera – with or without Mail -- then kept right on using what was already working and let New and Improved! Opera go wherever it wanted to go today. I don't usually use the Mail client in Opera, the IRC or the Torrent clients either but when I'm visiting it was nice to be able to use one multipurpose program instead of a plethora of preferable programs.
Linux? A FreeBSD port would be nice.
Furthermore While I'm Writing: I don't have a touchscreen or anything tablety or Androidy but the touch/gesture interface is probably going to be very important for Vivaldi so I hope the developers are debugging that part of Vivaldi too.

search engines can't use POST method, so this doesn't work on inputs/forms with POST method

Nah, post what you want, Piter, and don't get bullied by a tiny icon! :idea:

When I used a laptop, I used spatnav all the time. It's very easy to attain a tiny button/link using spatnav than using the trackpad, even more if you are not at a desk, but in your bed.
It's also much faster to stay at the keyboard than to switch constantly between the keys and the mouse. So if you can handle shortcuts, it's a breeze.
Also, try to open a list of links using spatnav : shift+down;ctrl+shift+enter;repeat. It goes so fast, you should try that.As for mail, it's in progress, it will come to V. But keep in mind those facts :
- Mail is much, much, MUCH bigger to develop than spatnav
- Devs have specialties : one works on mail, the other on design, the other on security…
- They are all working at the same time. Yes, spatnav is mostly ready now, but not mail. Because spatnav needs a few days/weeks of work, as mail needs months/years. But when they are working on spatnav, it doesn't mean mail doesn't progress too, even if you don't see it.
Finally, and I think it's the most important part : the original Opera, and now Vivaldi, have some great ideas at their core : building an Internet Browser for all.
And with spatnav, it's a big step forward to allow for example amputees to use a common browser. Yes, it's not stable yet, but it will, and in the mean time, it is already more usable than any other browser.
They are building a browser that adapts to you, and not the other way around. Maybe you don't use spatnav, but you use shortcuts. Maybe not, but you use mouse gesture. Maybe not, but you can click. You have the choice to do it as you want, as you prefer, as it's the less painful for you. That's what they are building -
Oh hey there, Ruari!
I have two windows open right now, with the second on my second monitor. When I try clicking on a link sent to me by a friend on, say, Steam or Skype, it opens on the window on my second monitor instead of the main monitor, even though that one should be the "active" window. How do I make it open on the right monitor?
-
It's even fixed already.
-
Welcome Ruarà !!!
about feedbacks: please readd an option for the "old" black look (or customized color) or change the current theme with something more acceptable because this soft gray one, IMHO, it's not at all
-
We hear you…
-
Win 7 64 bit, V 32 Bit
Ruario: I guess it is synchronicity old Opera comes back. Vivaldi probably has a good team now. Photo looks like Ringo Starr or CIA agent.
This build still Eats Memory…for me. Also had trouble closing it also.

@drayzen:
If we're talking about disabled users, I wouldn't be recommending they use a product that's so early in it's development.
I have a disability and can use Vivaldi easily at this stage of development. I don't use spatial nav. I use the mouse. BUT I have a very difficult time using the right mouse button and basically cannot use the scroll wheel at all so I hope/wish/pray Vivaldi doesn't put vital functions on those buttons. I would be so happy if there were a left button option for most function (I know their cannot be for some). I hope a developer sees this.

"please readd an option…"
Already promised.
