Allow Editing of Menus

Menu customization is essential.
Judging from the number of upvotes, this is the most wanted feature, but it's not essential. There are adequate workarounds for the problems that you mentioned.
- Use MouseGestures or keyboard shortcuts to go back/forward. The context menu is the least efficient method
- Double-click to close tabs (Settings, Tabs, Tab Handling), or again use a shortcut like Ctrl+W.
Most of us long-term Opera Presto users got used to editing ini files, but it's not user-friendly and was beyond the skill set of most users. If Vivaldi wants to penetrate the mass market they will have to make it easier to edit menus and toolbars. Even the modding experts have not able to find a way to hack the menus AFAIK. That this very popular request is still outstanding is an indication that it's not easy to implement, so I advise looking for workarounds.

I'm here to upvote this idea because without it Vivaldi can't have my respect.
Others above have suggested really amazing ideas for modifying the menus. I just want to remove some options that are useless to me.
Please respect my wishes and add this feature a.s.a.p.

@Shirozawa To upvote, you have to go to the original post in the thread and click the "up" carat next to the words "reply" and "quote."

@Ayespy Sorry I didn't saw it, should I delete my replies ?
-
@Shirozawa No need.

Ability to add/remove/change order/separators.
There is too many useless options in menus. How many users need direction of writing? -
My vote for customizing drop down menus including their background color. This has been an option in Firefox for quite some time. Needs to be available in Chromium based browsers.
-
@Ayespy Yes, I am losing patience. This feature request currently has
180189 votes β more than any other feature request β but it's not even tagged as work in progress yet.I would be happy with a way to delete and move menu items for a start. The other refinements like editable access keys, adding new commands, or horizontally stacked icons could wait.

It's been a year, I have very little hope and I'm surprised to see such a slow reaction time
-
@Shirozawa The Pipeline tag means it probably won't be done this year either. Too much work needed, and too many other things to fix that are more important.
-
@Pesala sorry for the late response, I just find it a pity
-
For the bookmarks bar drop down menus, please add an option to remove the "add active tab" function at the bottom, which is not something I use very often. I prefer a more minimalist look and to use that function through the right click menu when I need it instead.

One more wanting this.
@duarte-framos ideas are close to ideal, I believe. -
This post is deleted! -
Being able to edit menus is the Opera feature I most miss in Vivaldi.
-
You may have missed my point. I want not to have to navigate to a tab to close a tab. I want a right-click, context-menu option that allows me to close the tab I'm on. Minimal mouse movement. Simpler hand-eye coordination. Opera had it and it was great.

Up-vote. Menu customization is essential. If the old Opera could, Vivaldi should be able to. When I read online on my tablet, finding a spot to click that brings up a menu including "back" can be a real chore (and no, I do not want to see or use the space-wasting address bar). And when I close a tab, too often I accidentally close all other tabs -- I don't want that option in any menu.
Emphasis mine, because this is exactly why I just came to the forums, to request this if someone hadn't already. I keep a lot of tabs open, usually more than control + shift + T keeps in memory to reopen. I use control + W to close tabs sometimes, but if I'm laying in bed with the laptop on my chest and just idly doing internet things using only the mouse, I right-click to close tab. Sometimes my aim is off, my hand twitches, my mouse hits the edge of my silicone keyboard protector, etc., and the cursor doesn't land where it should, and instead of closing the tab I close everything BUT that tab. It's quite frustrating, and I'd love to just be able to remove that option from the menu entirely.

@somnomania As a workaround assign a mouse gesture to Close Tab.

For those who want a main menu similar to Chrome, try this extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/mymenu/embakochaelgijbeolbbgnljfgpbeeoe
