Option to Create Tab-stack by Ctrl-clicking or Middle-clicking on Links
-
While tab stacks are a great feature that I use every day, creating a new tab stack is a pain. If you already created a tab stack you can choose to have new tabs opened in the tab stack, but having the option to automatically create a tab stack when Ctrl- or middle-clicking links on a web page would make them easier to use. Currently I work around this by keeping a tab with the start page in the tab stack, but automatically created tab stacks would be a better solution. This shouldn't be on by default, but would be a great option to have.
Keep up the great work Vivaldi Team, can't wait for sync to be release in a stable build. It's been working great for me in the Snapshot builds.

This would also be great for opening links on a website of the same domain.
E.g. Opening a discussion thread from the forum as a separate tab would automatically create a tab stack.
Also, include Cmd-clicking and Shift-clicking.
-
I'm still missing the possibility to switch between different tab stacks.
e.g. - Let say you have 3 tab stacks and 5 open tabs. Now you can open one of the stacks (so the stack will be unstacked) and all 5 opened tabs will automaticly stacked. So you can switch between different topic-wise stacks.
I would love to have that feature.

Ctrl+Click and Middle-Click are already used to open background tabs.
Perhaps there is some other way to open links in a tab stack? Perhaps the Context Menu?

@Pesala Do Ctrl AND Middle Mouse need to be reserved for this? I haven't used either one yet. I use tiles constantly. The option to remap Ctrl/MM click to open in new tile would be ideal.
-
@Braden It's hard for me to understand why two of the most important inputs are locked to an action that I don't even use. Please allow me to make Middle Mouse button "Open in new Tile". Kills me everyday.

this feature is vital.. even if there are no modifiers that can be used, then at least let it be an option from the context menu.
Here is an example...
Imagine you used Vivaldi for research...
reading things...
like documentation as an example...
Imagine you opened 5 different topics from the main documentation page you were interested in reading... e.g. Tutuorial, Troubleshooting, Saving, Searching and FAQ
So you have 5 tabs open.
Now imagine you are reading the FAQ and come across 2 interesting topics.
And imagine the same thing for a few other other tabs you have open now as well.
If you just open these 5 or 10 new links in new tab windows you will quickly get lost. It makes more sense to organize them into tab stacks. However, creating a new tab stack for each one after the link has been opened can be difficult because you have to find your new tabs first that have been opened... which can become difficult when dealing with many tabs.
It would be great if you could just context menu open into new tab stack with current tab ... (and of course not switch automatically to the new page) and then you should get a new option in the context menu to open a link into the last used tab stack so that you can quickly open more links from the page.
Ok, so while that would be good - it could be simpler.
So why not have a tab stack lock feature... some kind of lock that when turned on will open any links into the existing tab stack or if none exists then create one using the source of the link page and the opened link... then you turn off the tab stack lock when you no longer want to add new links into the tab stack.

In Settings > Tabs > New Tab Position you can choose to open new tabs in a Tab Stack with the related tab.
Have you tried that option? -
Made an account on here just to say: this option is exactly what I was looking for (and likely others in this thread). Ctrl + Click a link and it opens up a new tab in a stack with the original tab, and Ctrl T still opens a non-stacked tab.
The only feedback I have on that is that the wording of that option does not convey this. The current wording implies all new tabs will go into a stack, which is not useful.
Maybe instead of a radio button option, have this as a checkmark stating "New Tab from Link Opens in Tab Stack"
-
@lectrode There are discussions going on about renaming this setting as well. So it probably will change at some point.

@Pesala said in Option to Create Tab-stack by Ctrl-clicking or Middle-clicking on Links:

with mouse combinations, uncustomized in vivaldi :
1-left mouse +right mouse button on link (the vivaldi rocker gestures)
(11-right mouse +left mouse button on link (the vivaldi rocker gestures)) (problem with mouse gesture activation button)
2-left mouse +right long mouse button on link
(22-right mouse +left long mouse button on link) (problem with mouse gesture activation button)
3-left mouse +double right click on link
4-long left clickTo open link into a foreground new tab I use double-left click please see this suggestion.

I would love this as a shortcut via mouse gesture

2022 February, still looking forward to get this feature
-
My take - there should be a modifier key (CTRL / SHIFT / ALT) that switches the tab stacking behavior for clicked links, so that the user can at any time override his general preference set in the Tab Stack Options to the other one.
Also, right click menu could have the alternative Open Link in / outside of current tab stack.

@trix 2022-10-16, STill waiting for this feature. Tried to macro it into existence, didn't workout.
Waiting!! -
Look this post "Auto group tab stacks by domain" :

@krishnu We are already halfway there with, Settings, Tabs, Tab Stacking Options:
Open Tabs in Current StackIf a stack is not yet created, one first has to open the new tab, and drag/drop it on top of the current tab to create a stack. Thereafter, Shift+Click or Ctrl+Click, will open the link in the current tab stack.
