Fast and easy: Tab Cycling in Vivaldi
-
@pesala: Except moving your middle finger moves automatically (anatomically) your ring finger at the same time. So mis-right click might happen more often.
-
@cqoicebordel: He's using 3 fingers so no moving would be required.
-
@mtaki14: Not horizontally, but "vertically" : when you flex your middle finger (for example, when you use the wheel with it), your ring finger will flex a little (because both fingers use attached tendons). So scrolling with middle finger might click on the right button in the same movement.
-
@cqoicebordel No. It never happens. The ring finger does not move when I scroll with the middle finger.
However, because the RMB is hard to hold down firmly with the weaker ring finger, if I do try to cycle tabs with the mouse I have to move my fingers to hold RMB with middle finger and scroll with the overused index finger (more RSI).

Have to keep tabs on open tabs.

I don't think it weird at all to use the index finger for the LMB and the middle finger for the MMB with the ring finger on the RMB. Any other arrangement requires constant changing of the fingers for clicking or scrolling.
Maybe those who downvoted my post would care to explain what is incorrect about my statement?
As I said earlier, I find RMB+Scrollwheel cack-handed (clumsy and awkward), so I don't use the mouse for cycling tabs (unless I am testing a reported bug). My preference is to use Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab.
Anyone care to explain how one can use the Index finger for scrolling, while using the middle-finger to hold the RMB, without having to change fingering for normal use?
-
Sigh… If only there was an option to separately enable (or disable) RMB+scroll tab switching and scroll-over-tab switching…
-
@pesala: I'm personally fine with changing finger position for scrolling, since it's what I've done since forever it feels natural to me. As long as it works for you I don't see an issue. Saying that, I can't understand the reasoning behind the downvotes either.

"mouse gesture"
I'm not sure whether it is a good idea to point out a feature that is currently broken. VB-44127 https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/31609/vivaldi-2-1-launches-with-improved-quick-commands/86

@andrewz1986 I'm not sure i understand your point, but maybe there's some subtle context i'm missing. All i can say is that I continue to use a plethora of MGs all day, every day. They're an established part of my workflow, & at least for me, they're reliable [notwithstanding a temporary scare this morning which i now know was not actually the MGs' fault].

@andrewz1986: Your bug report refers to the tab cycler using RMB + Scroll, not mouse gestures. The mouse gesture mentioned in the article refers to this

Someone who uses words like this and likes the colour purple and watches DW is someone I want to hang with.

@elkmonster: Honestly, I can't live without this. So for the last 1.5 years every time I update Vivaldi to a new snapshot I manually edit bundle.js and short-circuit the code that switches the tabs when hovering over tab bar.
-
@pesala: So. Sadly, some Vivaldi features don't go the way that people want. So just to prevent Vivaldi team from switching RMB to LMB people downvote your comment.
Maybe would be nice to add yet another option for this. But, again, there are already examples of features where Vivaldi team decided they know best instead of adding an option. Which is why your comment gets preventively downvoted.It is amazing that you can freely use middle finger for scrolling. Most people do not have that dexterity in their middle fingers, so we usually scroll with index finger. Which leaves RMB better option for us to hold when switching tabs.
-
Wow. A whole article about switching tabs and NO mention of "Right mouse button + scroll". You really do hate that feature, don't you...
-
@XtremAlRaven No one hates that feature. As one of the most common uses, it simply didn't make it into the article.

This doesn't happen. No options are pre-emptively dismissed. The team just works on its priorities and the options that are least disruptive to introduce.
-
@ayespy: Might as well be. Still feels like some important ones don't get much love.
Is was also recently revealed that the team doesn't collect usage stats from users (for privacy reasons). Which means the team's priorities might be wrong.
