Open URL / Search in New Tab from Address Bar with "Enter"

GruntZ

@Gwen-Dragon Sure, Alt + Enter does the trick, but these two keys are far from each other and require both hands.
Another function induced by TabMixPlus was to open a new tab if we typed a URL from another domain in the address bar.
I had these two habits, and I really miss them.

@GruntZ Try Shift+Enter — they are adjacent to each other.

Looking forward this feature , as it's musle memory for years.

vivaldi://settings/addressbar/
set it to use shift+enter, it's SO simple.

Hmmm 1 year later and not much movement.

In "Tools -> Settings -> Address Bar -> Open Address Bar in New Tab" there are: two options :"Alt + Enter" and "Shift + Enter". It's enough to add the third one "Enter".

Curious to know this isn't something that can't be quickly added. Same code as the other two options, just remove the part referring to Shift or Alt?

@7twenty I would expect it to be easy to fix. After all, it just needs a new radio box, and there would be no need to change the default setting that might annoy those of us who are used to, and prefer, the current behaviour.

What has changed in the last year is that the number of feature requests has more than doubled from 880 to 1,790 in the last 11 months. I doubt if the team of developers has increased as much in the same time.

i've always wondered how dev's schedule their time when working on things. In my head i'm thinking every few months they'd allocate 1 week and just work on little "quick easy to fix jobs". That way they can tick off a decent number of small tasks that move things along while not taking too much time out of doing other tasks that are deemed more important. But it seems that's not the case.

Just out of curiosity, is this something that someone can poke around with and do themselves, or is there more that needs to be looked at outside of the user accessible settings CSS and JS(?) for the logic?

Pesala

@7twenty No, I don't think it is something that one could do oneself.

Really frustrated by losing tabs and forms because of opening other URL or searching in the Address Bar.

You know, not every time when you are trying to search for something from Address Bar, you will pause and consider if the current tab need to be kept. It is really desperate losing your session in the tab after you hit the Enter. It is not possible to go back to the previous page/form by history back on some websites.

Would you please add that option to open Address Bar in new tab by default?

Thanks!

I am seriously agree to add this option!!! Its very useful for us.

Pesala

@linuxunion Then upvote the first post if you haven't already done so.

That works with the search bar as well.

Hello,
I am a new user of Vivaldi.
I really want to have this feature "Always Open Address Bar in new Tab" without using SHIFT or ALT key.
I am missing the feature of "tab mix plus" of FireFox : (

I am looking for a browser which have two options.

remove close button "x" on tab
always open a new tab from the address bar by "Enter" key. (no SHIFT or ALT key combinations)

There is no such browser yet. 7star browser did both, but no update for a long time (more than a year)

Pesala

@vandyhp For now, use the Quick Commands dialog (F2), and enable Settings, Quick Commands, Always open in new tab.

Ich bin ebenfalls neu von Firefox zu Vivaldi gewechselt. Ich vermisse diese Funktion sehr, da ich sie aus Gewohnheit sehr oft verwende und dadurch die geöffnete Seite überschreibe.

Ich hoffe, das es bald eine Möglichkeit zur Einstellung gibt

Vivaldi 3.x is out and this simple option is still missing. Shame and disappointment as this feature is EXTREMELY easy to implement and it has been requested for YEARS.

Pesala

@projektilski With over 2,600 feature requests, and a small team, those needed by few users or difficult to implement may have to wait for a long time. Wherever you see that a feature is In Progress, it may get done this year rather than next.

@Pesala
This is not an excuse as this feature request is very old, simple to implement and I'm sure that many other features were given priority even though they were requested much later. I would say I was unreasonable if I would demand that our request should have been resolved in days, weeks and even months but years? C'mon, it is ridiculous. There can be a complete NEW version of browser with many new features but expanding existing option with one extra choice is ignored for years.
I have noticed that some other browser communities behave the same. They develop features which no one asked but completely ignore requests of actual users.

Pesala

@projektilski Just an explanation, rather than an excuse.

It is already simple to open a URL or search results in a new tab, maybe that is why this request has so few votes after two years.

Use the search field
Press Alt or Shift + Enter
Use the Quick Commands dialog

I agree that this should be easy to implement, but I cannot see the code and do not know their priorities. Everyone expects their own needs to be met, but that is not possible, because others have different priorities.

Only 19 users voted for a Status Bar clock, and that suddenly got done without the thread even being tagged as In Progress. It is a mystery to me too, but there it is. Individual devs pick and work on something that they want to do.
