Separate Options for Tab Cycling and Scrolling Tabs on Tab bar

[XtremAlRaven]

@XtremAlRaven said in Separate Options for Tab Cycling and Scrolling Tabs on Tab bar:

Also, with recent changes in bundle.js it's impossible to figure out how to hack it to disable this yourself.

nvm, found it in the new bundle.js: find the place that says

let a=!1;if(t.closest("div#tabs-tabbar-container")&&(a=!0)

and change to

let a=!1;if(t.closest("div#tabs-tabbar-container")&&(a=!1)

You're welcome.

@XtremAlRaven I for one have give up RMB + wheel to jump between tabs, cuz it's much important to be able to scroll the overflow vertical tabbar with scrollwheel than switching tab with the scrollwheel (which I replace 'em with f1, f2, 1, & 2 single key shorcuts).

Basically, bundled 2 separate functions into one option like this is just bad design decision. It kill 2 good features & wasting development resources to add 'em in the first place; cuz it make me stop using both of 'em simply because one of the two functions is breaking my workflow.

Why not just disable RMB+Scrollwheel Tab Cycling? At least then you have one good feature — scrolling tabs on the tab bar.

[dude99]

@Pesala That's what I did. And the price is sacrificed 2 other functions instead of just one. I don't want mouseover tabbar + scrollwheel to switch tab, but I want to use the RMB + wheel function. That's just not possible without hacking bundle.js. I'm not gonna repeat that with each update, it should be present an an option in the GUI.

I have a feeling that no one in Vivaldi HQ using vertical tabbar, cuz it have a lot more unresolved problems than top tabbar. This is just one of 'em.

Its little sad that option to have only rmb+scroll is possible, but only what is stopping us from using it is missing interface option. Come one, its just one check box, how hard can it be?

@XtremAlRaven thanks for finding the code in script, now I wont scroll by accident in tabs instead page just because cursor is on top.

@Pesala
Please fix this. It's been almost 4 years since this topic was created. This problem is very stressful but can be fixed very easily.

@XtremAlRaven
Thanks a lot for the code. Without your workaround, I could have given up using Vivaldi.

@xtremalraven
Could circumvent the feature lack with your code, thank you.
The code has slightly changed.

let n=!1;if(t.closest("div#tabs-tabbar-container")&&(n=!0)

let n=!1;if(t.closest("div#tabs-tabbar-container")&&(n=!1)

I second everyone here, the feature would be useful. The RMB+wheel tab cycling was a standard feature in Opera 12, and the tab bar hovering + wheel tab cycling wasn't. I want the first, i don't want the second, because my tab bar is on the left, takes a lot of space and often messes with my page scrolling as i browse the webpage.

Current menu is this.

Feature request is this.

Thank you.

[banbo914]

The code has changed again. I'm using Ver.5.1.2567.73.

let i=!1;if(n.closest("div#tabs-tabbar-container")&&(i=!0)

let i=!1;if(n.closest("div#tabs-tabbar-container")&&(i=!1)

@Pesala
When is this problem fixed? I'm tired of fixing this by myself...

[Pesala]

@banbo914 With 5,435 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 tagged as In Progress, it may get done this year rather than next.

[banbo914]

@pesala Thank you for your prompt reply. I thought this thread was dead and there was no chance to be fixed. If you say so, I’ll just wait. Thank you again.

This is another vertical tab thing that the Firefox Sidebery extension does really well with an "Except if panel is overflowing"

Not sure if that implementation would be sufficient/complementary to the alternate hotkey to avoid accidental scrolling. It is for me.

@Pesala I hope to add this function. It will be possible in the future. I don’t know from which version this function cannot be used.

rmb+scoll switchi tabs

@XtremAlRaven Where is the file path of this bundle.js, I did not find it

@mahuaer
On Windows somewhere at
C:\Documents and Settings\%your user name%\AppData\Local\Vivaldi\Application\%current version%\resources\vivaldi\

On Mac:
/Applications/Vivaldi.app/Contents/Frameworks/Vivaldi\ Framework.framework/Resources/vivaldi/

Dunno about Linux, sorry

非常感谢您的回答，我在macos中找到了你说的文件。
不过我找到了不能使用“鼠标右键+滚轮”快速切换选项卡的原因。
因为我使用了一款叫做“Mos”的app。开启了平滑滚动
导致了跟vivaldi这可个摇杆手势冲突。
当我关闭Mos的平滑滚动选项是，我的vivaldi就可以通过rml+scorll来切换选项卡了，不用修改您所说的bundle.js。但我现在需要面临一个问题：在他们中间二选一

Thank you very much for your answer, I found the file you said in macos.
But I found the reason why I can't use "right mouse button + scroll wheel" to quickly switch tabs.
Because I use an app called "Mos". Smooth scrolling is on.
It caused a conflict with the joystick gesture of vivaldi.
When I turn off the smooth scrolling option of Mos, my vivaldi can switch tabs through rml+scorll, without modifying the bundle.js you mentioned. But now I need to face a problem: choose one of them

This option is important for those who use vertical tabbar.
I have to use the Windows panel instead of tabbar for a long time.

[H4M5TER]

I wrote a powershell for it
Running as administrator is needed to write in C:\Program Files

$file = (Resolve-Path 'C:\Program Files\Vivaldi\Application\*\resources\vivaldi\bundle.js')
Copy-Item -Path $file -Destination (Split-Path $file -Parent | Join-Path -ChildPath 'bundle.js.bak') -Force

(Get-Content -Path $file -Raw) -replace '(div#tabs-tabbar-container"\)&&\(\w)=!0\)', '$1=!1)' |
  Set-Content $file

@H4M5TER
Do you know if it's possible to write a command for the opposite setting (disable right click scrolling, while keeping tab scroll)?
