Sync More Features
-
Has the Vivaldi team any plans with regards to enhancing the Sync feature? It's been a while since I've heard any news.
Vivaldi is such a customizable browser and it's really a pity that not everything gets synced.Any update is highly appreciated!

@HellbillyDeluxe

@derDay Thank you for your reply. I was hoping for more information, but that will do for now.
Thanks again!

Avoiding opening a new thread, but could we any chance bump keyboard shortcut sync ? It's super helpful for people who've made Vivaldi minimal, board only browser, and it hurts losing all custom shortcuts on switch.
-
@stickyburn There is already a separate request for Syncing Keyboard Definitions, but this thread is sufficient. It is still work in progress.
Keyboard shortcuts and search engines would be my top priorities.
-
Thanks for the response @Pesala! One more question for which I could start a new thread if you'd like - I love using Vivaldi as it enables a keyboard only experience.
As minimal as it is, people in my situation still need to deal with a whole lot of customization options when we only need keyboard shortcuts to toggle UI parts like tabs, url and status bar.Is there any possibility of a 'stripped' down version of Vivaldi for such a usecase? More than convenience and speed, this will enable Vivaldi to reach a smaller but stronger crowd of people who use browsers like Qute. Vivaldi is way ahead of such minimal, keyboard only browsers, and getting rid of 'bloat' will really help Vivaldi stand out. I understand this would be a niche request, but an important one in this ecosystem nevertheless.
Thanks for the browser!

In my opinion, no. Everyone's use case is unique to them. Customisation allows each user to remove unused menu items, move/remove toolbar buttons, assign/reassign keyboard shortcuts and mouse gestures. The permutations are endless, so it would be impossible to design a minimal UI that would suit everyone.
What would be useful, and is almost essential for backup, is a way to Export / Import User Settings. This would allow backup, and exchange of settings between systems or users.

@trm217 said in Sync all Browser Settings:
Settings such as search engines, themes, etc. don't get synced. I think most people (I suppose there are edge cases where people don't want this, however most probably would) would want this to be the case.
Absolutely! I was surprised that after switching to another OS and enabling sync, I had to go over a very time-consuming tedious process of setting my theme and preferences the exact same all over again. If Vivaldi is an extremely customizeable browser it appeals to people who want that kind of customization and then at least having full and complete sync between each device (desktop) makes sense as a default and whether to sync or not can be made an option in the settings too.
It would really be hassle free if we get this. Thanks for all the awesome work folks!

Could it be possible to have a place where all that is synced and all that isn't synced could be listed?
That way people would know where the sync is at and where it is going.
Right now, it is hard to know. -
@anarcho Take a look at
vivaldi://sync-internals -
@pesala thanks
-
Custom search engines & command chains should definitely be included in sync.
-
Please do it

Please do it
The title says "In Progress", which means that the Vivaldi developers will realize the theme "Sync More Features", but a release date has not been set yet.
-
Syncing command chains and keyboard shortcuts would be awesome, also search engines like others have said
I'm posting because I'm curious.
-
@legobuilder26 The title says "in progress", which means that the Vivaldi team is already working on it, but it is not yet clear when this feature will be released.
-
Right!
If they cannot mention ETA, they should really introduce a new tag that says, "This will be out soon" since the "in progress" tag contains so many threads and it is impossible for the Vivaldi team to work on countless features simultaneously.
-
@dark2 In this case, Sync is such a big task that it may never be tagged as DONE. They are gradually adding more things to Sync when they have time.
Go to
vivaldi://sync-internalsto see what is synced already.
