Google site search on any webpage.

I think its more a generic chomium tweak but its useful IMHO.

Tools > Settings > Search > Add New Search Engine

URL:```
javascript:void(location.href='http://www.google.com/search?q=%s&domains='+location.hostname+'&sitesearch='+location.hostname)

Description: Google site search

Nickname: site (or whatever you want)

Type site in you addressbar and what you looking for > :woohoo:

Hey Wupi, you rock, but I think this code would be more effective to the "average" user by leaving out site and allowing google search from the address bar.

… '+location.hostname+'&search='+location.hostname)

I found a new use for single-key shortcuts, since I don't use them for spatial navigation. The only ones that I do use sometimes are z and x for back and forward, or 1,2 for previous next tab. I assigned these to open panels (b is already used for the Bookmarks Bar as per my earlier post in this thread).

• B = Bookmarks Bar
• b = Bookmarks Panel
• c = Contacts Panel
• d = Downloads Panel
• g = Google Translate Panel
• m = Mail Panel (When it's ready)
• n = Notes Panel
• v = Vivaldi Bug Report Panel
• V = Vimeo Uploads Panel
• y = YouTube Panel

This just results in a blank page for me. (V1.3.551)

Trying to make a gestures more logical and memorable, as I think. Here is the picture:

Need backup your password?

activate chrome://flags/#password-import-export then restart
now open chrome://settings/passwords and export (*.csv) the password list (plain text).

Import/export works between Chromium based Browser.

I've finally managed to optimize messenger.com for display as a web panel with some custom CSS rules.

I'm using User CSS, but any custom CSS extension should be capable of doing the same thing.

In the end, it only took two rules:

._4_j5 {
  display: none;
}

._4sp8 {
  min-width: 0;
}

The first one turns off the panel on the right side that gives you information about the group you're in. It's fairly superfluous for a panel; if I need it I can always just use the in-facebook version. The second rule removes the min-width attribute and allows the page to compress below a width of 500 pixels.

Figured I'd post it here because I found it helpful, and Messenger is a fairly common use-case for a panel.

@jfmonty2 said in Tips & Tricks:

You do know that you can show/hide the panel at any time by clicking the "Conversation information" icon in the upper right corner, right? And that Messenger remembers your setting so that you don't need to hide it each time you open the panel?

[jfmonty2]

@pafflick Curses! I looked for a setting like that, but (perhaps naively) I was looking in Settings, so I didn't see it.

Oh well. Custom min-width is still useful so you haven't completely invalidated my clever hack.

Bangs With Search Engines

With DuckDuckGo, if one types an exclamation mark before the URL that one wants to search, one can type a search term afterwards to search the target site for the term.

For example: !forum.vivaldi.net "white flash" will search the Vivaldi forums for "White Flash".

Search Results

Add your own Page Actions by duplicating any CSS files in:

\Vivaldi\Application\2.1.1337.35\resources\vivaldi\user_files

Then modify the code to suit your needs. I copied Filter_Sepia.css and edited the background colour to get a different result like this:

These files will be overwritten by updates, so copy your customised style sheets to the \Vivaldi\ folder so that you can easily copy them back again after an update.

Assign a shortcut to Search with Selected Text, in Settings, Keyboard, Page. (This is new in recent versions and has no default shortcut. I chose Ctrl+Shift+F) A mouse gesture can also be assigned.

• Select some text
• Execute the shortcut
• The text will be searched with your default search engine.
