Undocumented Shortcuts and Features

Pesala

Double-click on Vivaldi icon when Horizontal Menu Bar is displayed closes the window. (This is a standard Windows shortcut, so not expected to find in Vivaldi Help).

Tooltips for the following buttons need to be updated to say what happens when...

middle clicking on the buttons for reload and homepage
right clicking on the 4 buttons for back and forward

There might be more, but that is just what I have noticed so far. Please fix.

After selecting “Capture Selection” from the Status Bar camera icon, click anywhere on the page (do not drag), then click on the camera icon to save a screenshot of the active window.

This does not seem to work for me or I misunderstand the instructions. No screenshot is created.

Shortcuts to Select Next/Previous Tab will select all tabs in a stack with one keystroke.

I think this is a bug (but for some evidently a feature, hm :-D). At least it is reported as such, details here: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/67685/command-chain-and-stacked-tab-selection

Thanks for those, especially 8. is absolutely perfect! (and 4. !)

Probably the behaviour has changed since November 2018?

The Shortcuts to Select Previous/Next Tab will select all tabs in a stack with one keystroke. Then the stack can be closed with another, or saved as a session with another.

Works with a collapsed accordion tab stack. If the tab stack is expanded, only the next tab is selected with the current tab (Settings, Tabs, Tab Features, Tab Selection, Included Active Tab in Selection).

Quite possible. I tried most of the others and this one was the only one not working. Not sure if it is your ambition to keep the original post up-to-date but you might apply strike-through font effect to number 13 if it also does not work for you:-).

I have just discovered that the "go to <selection>" feature of the context menu works not just on text formatted as URLs, but it also suggests links based on previously bookmarked pages.

@LonM That's a a weird one, never even noticed that

Vivaldi can preview the contents of OPML files if you open them directly, in case you need a visual way to browse them before importing, or want to only import a small selection.
(The file menu import will import everything in an OPML file)
