Numbered menu accelerators – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1373.4

Coincidentally, this is exactly what I use mouse chords to do on Firefox. If Vivaldi had customizable mouse chords, I would be using it right now.
-
"Window Panel > Activate with Single Click" is still broken. I first noticed it in the last snapshot.

@fangsta Confirmed here too. Submit a Bug Report

A useful improvement. Now we need automated access keys for all tabs, as in Opera 12.18.
Access key on all menus would be nice too. The link context menu, for example, has access keys only on some items, not on most.

Why limiting to first nine items?
Numbering can continue alphabetically, from a to z. -

Would not be better to have an alphabetical "numbering"?
-
@pesala Ah, so there are 10 possibilities, not just 9 as stated in the blog.

Ctrl + 1 - 9 ?
-
@burbuja No. By access keys I mean the underlined letters in menus and dialogues. The thread title calls them Accelerator Keys.
Ctrl + Key shortcuts are generally called hot-keys. By default, there are already hot-keys (shortcuts) for the tabs.
Opera uses zero as an access key, but Vivaldi does not (though why not?)
Automated access keys means that the next available key is underlined. For example, look at the page context menu. Some items have no access keys, while "a" is hard-wired to Save as...
Allow Editing of Menus would allow users to assign the access keys that the use most frequently, and remove unused items from the menus, but by default, all menus should have access keys assigned automatically.

But numbers add additional visual distraction. Especially when you don't plan to use Ctrl+[Num] to jump on numbered position.
Or you can see numbers only when CTRL pressed? -
@stardust You do not have to press any modifier key to use Access Keys/Accelerator Keys. Just press the number 1 to focus the first tab, 2 for the second tab, etc., after showing the Window menu with Alt+W or with the mouse. With up to nine tabs, it saves some scrolling. In Opera 12.18 it works with a large number of tabs.
For example, with these tabs, the only Access Key used twice is J. To focus the second of those tabs, Alt+W, J, J, Enter.
-
Clearly I hadn't used Alt-W before. It not only brings up what's mentioned in this post, but it brings up a really useful LastPass page. I'll have to change the shortcut for one of them to something else, since they're both useful.

Aah, so it is for windows/tabs.
-
@stardust Currently, only for tabs in the active window. Tabs in other windows are not listed.
-
@rseiler: I've used Alt+W to switch to the side panel to see the tabs as a list, but I select one with the mouse
-
@pesala: Thanks. Bug submitted.
-
@lonm You huge HUGE tease!
-
Drag and Drop of tabs to create tab stacks no longer works. Not on the tab bar, nor in the Window Panel.
Tab-stacking is enabled in Settings, Tabs, Tab Features.
The only method now seems to be to select the tabs first, or to stack tabs by domain.

@pesala Both methods continue to work correctly here.
