Feature requests for Vivaldi 1.14
-
Syncing Everything: In addition to syncing passwords, bookmarks, speed dials, etc. Being able to sync all the custom thumbnails for the speed dials, custom themes, and the start page wallpapers would be extremely helpful.

Directly putting speed dial favorites in folders, if possible (:

The ability to click on "file/share"
There's one major feature missing that EVERY browser (EVERY browser) has that Vivaldi doesn't.
There's no easy way to send a website to someone with Vivaldi unless you copy and paste the link. You should be able to click on "share" and have it automatically bring up an email. If someone else has already requested this, I didn't see it but there way too many posts to look through to find it. Looks like people are inundated Vivaldi with feature requests.

I'd like to see Vivaldi open new tabs in the background by default instead of having to take special steps to get it to do that.
Every other browser on the market either opens in the background by default or has the option in settings.

Hi again, I thought of another request that could prove handy: A secondary zone for extensions, as illustrated below:
-
Include the presentation mode in the "View" menu
This is trivial to implement (I imagine), would make perfect sense, and would have no downside.
It's probably trivial because the feature is already available through a shortcut (which I found it impossible to remember, because I don't use the mode everyday) under the name of "Toggle UI".
The "presentation mode" is different from the "fullscreen mode". (Search Vivaldi forum with "presentation mode".)

Default to selecting the first item in the saved sessions list
Usecase: I use a shortcut (Shift+Ctrl+P) to access the Quick Commands, which I use to then access saved sessions (
Open Saved Sessions). After doing so, I then need to use my mouse to select the first item, after which point I may as well click theOpenbutton. Ideally, I'd like for the entire behavior to be enabled to be keyboard driven, so I'd never have to take my hands off the keyboard to launch a session. Just a matter ofShift+Ctrl+P, typingOpen Saved Sessions, and pressingEnter(or if I have multiple open, using the arrow keys thenEnter). -
Audio device output selection
For example: ability to send audio from specified tab to Speakers, even if Windows default is set to Headphones.
Especially when gaming, I have game audio and TeamSpeak at headphones, but I would like to listen some music mix from YouTube at speakers.
Never seen ability like that in any other browser, but it could be useful in some cases.

Ability to replace web search field with find-in-page search box
I can already web search from address bar, two search fields are "a bit" useless.
-
Division of lines for search engines.
Add the possibility of putting dividers with titles in the search engines, for a better visualization and order.
-
(Windows) Store persistent user profile in a persisting location.
%LocalAppData%is not roamed and every time a user logs into a new station, his/her profile is lost. -
Speed Dial Navigation with Keyboard Cursor Keys
After giving focus to the speed dials with F9 or Escape to return from the URL field, or by changing the setting in Tab Handling, one can navigate only with Tab or Shift+Tab.
-
Focus Panel on Notification
If a closed but active web panel sends a Web Notification, and I click on that notification, open and focus this panel, and then bubble any events.Use Case Example: I have TweetDeck in a web panel. It is minimised. I get a notification. TweetDeck fires a Web Notification. Vivaldi displays this. I click it. TweetDeck focuses the referenced tweet. But Vivaldi does not open the panel, so I can't see the referenced tweet until I open the panel myself.

Multiple search engine shortcuts at the same time
It would be wonderful if more than one search engine shortcut could be used at the same time. For example:
If you have set "gr" as a shortcut for GoodReads and "am" for Amazon, then a search for "gr,am Book Title" would perform a search for Book Title on GoodReads and on Amazon with the results in two tabs.
The example uses two search engines but it is not unusual for me to perform the same search on three or more sites. You could call the feature 'Power Search'.
-
Enable search engine shortcuts in the search bar
It would be useful if the search engine shortcut keys could be used in the search bar as well as in the address bar.
