10 Vivaldi shortcuts you should try today

@potmeklecbohdan: oops thanks for the pointer! Updated now
-
I still miss the "CTRL + left click image" shortcut to open the "save image as..." dialogue we had in Classic Opera.

For that here's Classic Images extension, drag the .crx in extensions page and setup your shortcuts
https://github.com/ChaosinaCan/ClassicImages/releases
I'm waiting for this feature since Vivaldi 1.0 aswell -
don't you think ctrl+q is too close to ctrl+w? that's one of gripes with quantumfox on non-windows as you can't unbind it anymore, imo such dangerous (especially that there it skips all sanity checks and just quits) shortcut shouldn't be bound by default, but if someone dares to they are free to set it up however they like
-
@zakius That is why I assigned Ctrl+Q to Delete Browsing Data instead of Quit. If I do hit it instead of Ctrl+W, I can just cancel the dialogue and try again.
-
@zakius I just unmap the Exit mapping, and use Alt-F4 (standard Windows close).
I don't know when Ctrl+Q became the standard Exit command, I seem to remember it was the same in other browsers for a while too. But it's a Really Bad Idea.
Another problem is that no matter what you map the Exit command to, there's no confirmation at all - even if the option for confirmation on exit is selected... I'd consider it a bug actually.

@Pathduck Not strictly a bug because the Exit Confirmation dialogue is only meant to warn against accidental closure by using the X button. One assumes that File menu, Exit or Alt+F4, or Ctrl+Q are actions that one does intentionally, hence no warning is wanted.
-
Open Quick Commands (Ctrl + E on Windows ...)
Are you sure? That does nothing for me, and I don't think I've customized this. F2 works fine, though. -
@mscha I confirm, even deleting an resetting the keyboard shourtcut, only F2 is set for Quick commands.
-
I always map "Focus Address Field" to Alt+D, and IMO it should be the default. F8 I believe is standard in Vivaldi (?), but it's too far from the regular left hand position, and Ctrl+L is practically a two-handed combo, unless you have pianist hands... :face_with_stuck-out_tongue:
Another useful mapping is F1 for Focus Panel, it's great when moving from the page to panel. Help is always available in the menus so no need to use "prime keys" for Help
They really should add a shortcut for Toggle Focus between Page and Panels.
For consistency I also map the standard Panels to Ctrl+Shift+B/D/O/H/W.
@Pesala Not sure I agree. If user chooses to have a confirmation on Exit it should apply on all the Exit options (X button, File menu, shortcut, OS default).

Wow, do you mean there are actually people who use keyboards with BOTH hands? </sarcasm>

Not necessarily
-
The shortcut I use the most is .
for find in page instead of Ctrl+FOld Opera user
-
@ian-coog: Thank you! I will try that.
Still I hope that shortcut will be integrated native in Vivaldi. -
Genuine question: why doesn't spatial navigation work "as expected" in speed dial?
I occasionally open a new tab (with keyboard) and then have the urge to use the cursor keys to get to one of the thumbnails. And when my brain does this, it's a surprise/shock to discover the address field drop-down opening up instead of seeing a cursor move around the screen.
And every time this happens, I wonder why it doesn't work like Opera 12, where F7 always focussed the content(*) and then you could just cursor your way to the relevant page and press ENTER. Instead, as far as I can see, you can only do it by pressing TAB a dozen times...
(*) like F8 focusses address - why is that not on the list in the article, BTW?

@mossman Settings, Tabs, Tab Handling, enable "Focus Page Content on New Tab." However, cursor keys do not navigate. Use the Tab key.

Vivaldi's default is F9
Yeah, my mistake. F7 was the panels IIRC.

That's the bit I was mostly talking about - why are cursor keys (or shift/alt/ctrl-cursor) not active on the speed dial...?! On any other page you can use spatial navigation... ONLY speed dial doesn't have it at all! And it's one of the most obvious places to apply it.

Vivaldi is very nice to use with the keyboard, expecially with the quick actions. The spacial navigation is also a help for smaller pages but it sometimes is a bit fiddly on bigger pages.
There is an extension for IntelliJ platforms called AceJump (originally it comes from Emacs) that is designed for quick code navigation: Once activated, you can navigate to each letter very quickly using only the keyboard, avoiding the mouse. I think this could be a great way to navigate through web pages too. There currently is a Chrome extension that allows that kind of navigation on web pages: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ace-jump/dffnomheiaejjeadigfgnadlbfdbbhja)
However, implementation is tricky due to different types of elements that can be clickable, overlapping elements, hidden elements etc.
I have tried to make a user script that covers most cases, but it will probably never be finished
https://gitlab.com/pyfips/tm-userscripts/blob/master/AceJump for Web/AceJump.user.js
You could use it either with Tampermonkey or using the page actions in Vivaldi. Just press Ctrl+0 once the script is activated.
