Keyboard shortcuts for panels.
For example, refresh panel, panel home, panel forward, panel back. -
FEATURE REQUEST: Show download speeds at downloads bars itself...
Whilst the download speed in the downloads panel is very welcome, I would prefer to see it in the downloads bars itself and showing downloads speed for every simultaneous downloads... so I could see several download speeds at a glance instead of click each download to see their download speed at bottom...
Example:
Thx....

Open bookmark links in the active Start page tab instead of new tabs (when option "Open in new tab" is active)
When tab with Start page (speed dial) is active, launch links from bookmarks (including bookmarks bar) directly in the Start page tab instead of creating new tab. If the Start page is opened, but not active, then launch bookmark link in a new tab.

feature request for add a setting for changing drag link behavior(request again)
From vivaldi 1.8, when drag left/right on a link, it will select the link's text instead of drag the link.(i know drag the link up/down will drag the link, but it's hard to use, and it's often select text instead of drag link)
It's useful when you exactly want to select the link text. But i think you want to drag the link most time.
So my request is that is it possible to add a setting to let user decide what the behavior is.
And add a key mapping to change the behavior temporary(for example, hold the ctrl or alt key).Thanks

@banterfacefox At the very first time I read you're request I maybe misundertood but, I did not understand why you would only copy one part of the address (it doesn't work well, there's a bug discussion about it) but, if you clone a tab, the cloned tab will have the same address, of course...
I don't undersand if you ask for this feature because that bug. -
@bakfiets According to you're idea i think it would be useful also for whom as only have one monitor, but use 2 or more Vivaldi windows open. A right-click voice like: Open in Vivaldi (2) (where 2 stands for second Vivaldi window), or Send this tab to Vivaldi (2)...
PS
If you like this feature request vote the post by @bakfiets that i'm replyng, not this mine. -
@magichimp Already available. Settings, Start Page, Background Image, Change.
-
@magichimp Where are you looking for the browse option?
-
@magichimp Yes, you are missing to follow what @pesala already told you to do
It's really simple, once in Settings/Start Page check Background images, in the last one there is a Change button, press that. -
@magichimp Here:
-
@magichimp Ok, the first time is still named "Custom", it's been a lot of time since I changed mine, after you set it it will named "change". Click that.
-
More Start Page Background images please. The
sixseven on offer now aren't enough. Most of them are blue, which is a color I'm trying to avoid when looking at the browser in the evening and night. -
@deagfrog If I'm understanding your feature request properly, it sounds like a great shortcut to cloning a tab before navigating it's history while leaving the original tab alone. I do this often when comparing, researching, etc.
-
@goldenrodtycoon Sounds like a great use for a panel. Bind a panel to a folder on your computer and just drop images into the panel. Presto, saved.
Bonus points for adding renaming functionality that allows filename templates based on domain, path, format, resolution, etc, etc.

@osmin To combat the modern tracking, Vivaldi probably should completely ignore all :visited styles and implement something on another level outside the page sandbox so trackers can't detect it.
-
@quhno I think that should show up in a Performance / Efficiency tab in Settings.

Panel "Window" Modes
I'd like the Panel functionality to be available in a different mode. By this I mean, rather than a docked panel that crushes the current web page whenever it's open, there should be an option of Docked (current behavior), Overlay, or Floating Window.
The Overlay would work much like Extension Overlays which do not affect the current tab. This way there is no content reflow/redraw whenever a "Panel" is opened, like Downloads.
On the Docked option, there should be an option for which side the Panel is docked to (not just left and right, but top and bottom too). This should be configurable per panel. For example, the Downloads Panel could be configured to Dock at the bottom of the window. In this case, there would not need to be any space for the actual Panel buttons because it would be the only Panel configured to Dock in that location.
However, the Download Panel could also be configured as an Overlay, that much like Firefox, Safari, simply pops open to let you know a download started and then fades out (optional) if you ignore it.
The Floating Window option would work just as well for Downloads, particularly if you're downloading a lot of files. Just move it out of the way so you can keep an eye on it and download away.
My use case may be somewhat out of the ordinary because I never use maximized or fullscreen windows. My screens are large enough it would make most web sites look ridiculous if I did so. My home screen is wide enough I can have two windows 1200px wide next to each other with room to spare.
This use case, however, is probably overshadowed by the many people who have multiple display panels. I expect being able to put a Panel on another display would be even more valuable to those users.
The Overlay option should be able to function identically to a Floating Window if a user chooses to "pin" the Overlay open. I imagine a case where a Links Panel exists and to avoid a costly reflow of an enormous web page, the Links Panel could be opened in an Overlay, pinned to stay open, maybe even pinned to the specific tab so that other tabs could be opened from the original Links list. Ideally, the user would also be able to scale and resize the Overlay to fit their needs.

Name proposals when saving files in a ComboBox/ListBox
Often when saving a file by right clicking the link and selecting "Save link as..." the chosen filename is gibberish.
Vivaldi should present the name/text of the link and the title of the webpage as potential filenames (in a ComboBox/ListBox).Example:
I want to download a movie from German state-run television public library. The link reads "Was tun gegen Neonazi-Konzerte?". When selecting "Save link as..." the filename becomes "FCMS-82b83c2b-997b-4925-845c-417da6f76979-c7cca1d51b4b_82.mp4".
This means that I have to type in something, which makes sense, myself.
Here Vivaldi could assist us with a ComboBox/ListBox, giving us alternative filenames (text of the link, title of the page, etc.).
After all, what makes Vivaldi great is that it's more convenient than other browsers. -
Add more theming freedom
Like CSS gradients genarator, ability to use another image as a theme, etc.
Make corner rounding focus more on the tabs rather than other elements, for example, if I want to make my tabs more rounded, the other elements, such as buttons and address bar, become more rounded than I want them to be.
Mute tab as right click on the tab rather than waiting for the tab to make a sound so you can catch the volume icon and click it, really unintuitive.
Add alternative option for downloads window - more like Firefox and Chrome - instead of showing in a sidebar, they can show in a popup and when clicked before they finish downloading, this sets them a task to be started automatically when completed downloading.
Make the prompt for saving a password stay even if you switch the tab before you answer it (choose whether you want the browser to save the password or not), because in Chrome when you do that and come back to the tab, it's still there and you can still answer it, while in Vivaldi, it disappears, and I have to log out, delete the cookie and log in again if I want it to save my password, really annoying.
Make Ctrl+Left Mouse Click or Middle Mouse Click on the Back/Forward button open the previous/next page in a NEW TAB, not like it does now - in the same tab.

Video fade to fullscreen, like Firefox
When opening videos in fullscreen the whole browser changes size before video is fullscreen, making it look choppy.
Firefox fades the video to fullscreen, without changing the window size, more like a layer on top.
