Feature requests for 1.8 / 1.9

Custom JS as a gesture action
Please add an action to execute custom JS code to allow e.g. calling commands from extensions.

E.g. I use FireGestures plugin in Firefox and call my addon's commands via events from custom JS commands, so I've assigned Right gesture with Next/FastForward command (like it was in old good Opera 12).

var evt = document.createEvent("Events");
evt.initEvent("FastForward::combinedForward", true, false);
document.dispatchEvent(evt);

Or is there some other (existing) way of doing such things?

Check/uncheck all visible items in history
On history page, there is a filter and a checkbox near every URL... but I have to click every URL separately to remove multiple items related to searched keyword. Check/uncheck all button would be really useful there.

Customizeable colors for all UI elements (popup menus, page background etc)
Currently page background color is somehow selected automatically depending on panel background color, so user can't set this color manually. Some colors can't be set at all. E.g. even with dark/black page/panel backgrounds popup menus still have eye-blinding white color.

@MVV_ Ctrl A works fine to select all. Or, Click on the first, then Shift + Click on the last.

I want to use the light themes but cannot handle the white bookmark panel background. It blinding and I find it strange a UI element like that is white. I'd love to be able to set it grey.

@Pesala,
Thanks, Shift+Click really selects a range, it was unexpected on web page.
Ctrl+A juse selects all text on a page, but doesn't toggle checkboxes.
Anyway, I think such checkbox will be useful for users, and it is a quite standard element.

@dLeon It's for automated / unattended / scripted installs, not for a human going to a download page and picking what link they want to download. From your response you are clearly not the target audience for this kind of feature.

[Pesala]

@MVV_ You must be using an old version. There are no checkboxes in the history tab. Ctrl A selects all entries filtered by the search, and delete clears them from history. This also works in the history panel.

Sort search engines!
Currently, it is a pain to find a specific search engine if, like me, you have dozens of them in the drop-down menu. An option to sort them alphabetically or, better, manually would be highly appreciated.

Extend mouse gestures beyond drawing. If any of you uses sumatra pdf, you might know that holding down the right mouse button and scrolling up with the middle mouse button zooms in, while doing the same but scrolling down zooms out. that is a pretty useful gesture and I'm sure many more similar gestures can be added.

Furthermore, showing the outline of the gesture like opera used to would be cool.

Smart Browser & Extension Update Bandwidth Management

Please don't download update during busy traffic moment, or at least limit the download speed to keep other traffic alive. There should be an option to do the same for extension updates, because some extension like uBlock Origin are too aggressive when updating it's lists.
