Tweak new tab opening and closing behavior in Vivaldi
-
@joelyoung: i have actually tried tabs, I don't just hate them for no reason. But I find they don't actually offer anything for me. They take away from keeping everything together on the task bar (yes, I modded windows to have a proper, old school task bar. Thank you classic shell), they take away from my screen space by adding more to the browser's ribbon at the top, and I don't generally have 15 different pages open at the same time. At most I'll have 3, maybe 4 and window tabs at the bottom of the screen are easier for me than multiple tabs in the same window because I can switch between them and other open programs a lot quicker if they're all on the same task bar. That and I'm one of those people that don't like changes. :p

For the time being it is only possible to configure the "New Tab" behaviour either as "Next to the active (or related) Tab" or "As last Tab".
Is it possible to include the entry "New Tab next to this one" into the context menu?
With this it is possible to easily open a new Tab next to the active one while in settings the "Position of New Tabs" is configured as "As last Tab".Thanks

I have used Chrome for many years. When I am searching for a keyword, I will click "open new tab" with a series of links, maybe 20 links. Then I read each link one by one and close the tab one by one if that didn't work. But when I switched to Vivaldi, when I opened the new tab, Vivaldi always moved to the new tab. It made me very uncomfortable when searching or finding information to return to the search site.
With me, the process of searching on google is the first stage that takes a lot of time. The step of reading tabs and filtering information is the second.
Can Vivaldi have the shortcut key like "shift +click" to the link is "open new tab background"? -
@fx1024 You can use one of the following, Ctrl + Click or Right-click -> Open in background tab or Middle-mouse click.

the opening placement and focus changing on close can get pretty complex, it's complex enough I can't really explain all conditions happenig inside of FF when it decides what to do and while there are some minor annoyances I think it always did the best job with it, not perfect but pretty close
so my perfect flow would be replicating the FF behavior then fixing what feels off, unfortunately I am unable to list even these issues of my head now but I'm sure it gets slightly lost when you open new batch of children (open children, switch to one of them, switch back to parent, open few more)
I also think it doesn't properly handle hierarchy when you use tabs.create in extension but I'm not sure if it's true

Is there a setting to make opening and closing tabs just act like Chrome does? Using "Related Tabs" does not act intuitively at all, especially if tabs have been moved around. Before long the relation tree between tabs is complex, and Vivaldi aggressively relates tabs to each other. Then new tabs appear in seemingly random locations, and on tab close, seemingly random tabs are activated. Somehow Chrome makes this work. Is there a Vivaldi setting to emulate Chrome's behavior?

i can't see any settings where i can open a link in a new tab but the focus of browsing still at the parent tab not at the child tab (the new tab opened)

@AndyLaode Try Open Link in New Background Tab.
This is one of the FAQ
- Right-click, Open in New Background Tab
- Ctrl+click
- Middle-click
- Mouse Gesture, Open Link in Background Tab (Over a Link)
- Vote for Option to Open New Tabs in Background as Default

You wrote:
"If the “parent-child” logic is not the one for you, you can choose your tabs to follow a different pattern of opening and closing. You could set your new tabs to:
Always open “After active tabs”;
Always open “As last tabs” (the most straightforward one of them all).
With the above two options, tabs that you open from links in your current tab, as well as tabs you open via Ctrl+T or by clicking on “+” will open “After active tab” or “As last tabs”."HOW?

@infti Settings, Tabs, New Tab Position.

I am trying to figure out how to open a link in a new tab by right clicking and then clicking open in new tab without the browser immediately going to the new tab. If I am doing a search on a particular subject in the search engine I will see several different sites I may want to explore and not automatically be brought to the tab that I just wanted to be opened in a new tab so that I can open all of the ones I want to explore and then go to the new tabs as I wish. I want to stay on the search engine website until I open all the sites that I want to explore, not immediately taken to each one of them one at a time.

You can customize the context menus under Settings -> Appearance -> Menu
