      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

        @wupi:

        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:
        

        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.

                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? 😁

                  @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".

                      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:

                      0_1540580793154_Customised Page Actions.png

                      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.

                        0_1540581212318_Search with Selected Text.png

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

                          Add a Bookmark to Restart Vivaldi.

                          • Add a new bookmark on the Bookmarks Bar in the Bookmarks Panel
                          • Use the url vivaldi://restart
                          • Click the bookmark to restart Vivaldi

                          Note that any changes you may have made to Settings are not applied when you take this quick route. To apply changes, use File, Exit, then launch Vivaldi from your desktop shortcut.

                              Browsing Local Image Folders

                              • First, delete any non image files from the folders like "desktop.ini" as these will interrupt browsing
                              • Open File from the file menu
                              • Browse to select an image folder
                              • Open the first image
                              • Press spacebar (or FastForward) to browse through the folder
                              • Back will go back to the previous image, but Shift+Spacebar does not seem to work
                              • To select a different folder, Ctrl+Left-click in the URL Field to go to the parent folder.

                                What a Load of Fluff!

                                I was wary of opening up my mouse in case I got left without a mouse. Today, someone brought a spare mouse, and fixed the old one by removing the accumulated fluff from inside my old mouse.

                                • Middle-click now works reliably
                                • Fast scrolling with MMB now works

                                Don't listen to those who tell you to buy a new mouse. Just open it up and clean out the insides.

                                  Resized Images on the Forum

                                  When you upload an image, if it's a bit too big, it will be resized and converted to a blurry image. Edit the URL, e.g. from

                                  https://forum.vivaldi.net/assets/uploads/files/1546018271917-go-to-parent-folder-resized.png

                                  To:

                                  If you can, always crop images before uploading them to show only the part that is relevant to your topic.

                                      Customise Toolbars

                                      Drag and drop buttons from the Status Bar to the Navigation Bar by holding down the Ctrl key, or right-click on a toolbar to customise it.

                                      I moved all the buttons that can be moved to improve accessibility. With the Panels Toolbar hidden, one can quickly access settings by clicking the Sync Icon.

                                      I have plenty of vertical space on my 1200x1600 portrait primary monitor, so I don't need to hide the Status Bar, but a single-key shortcut like S can do that very quickly.

                                            CSS Modifications

                                            To apply CSS modifications automatically with each update, go to vivaldi://experiments to enable "Allow for CSS Modification." Then this option will appear in Settings, Appearance, where you can choose the folder where your custom.css files are stored.
