(History of) Vivaldi Feature Requests

Hello,
is it possible to use keyboard shortcut that would take me directly to Bookmark search window? Without using my mouse at all.

Hello,

Possible, but far from easy.
New Tab (Ctrl T) to open speed dial, then press Tab multiple times until you reach the Bookmarks. Press enter to open the bookmarks manager, then press Tab multiple times until you reach the search panel. Something like Auto HotKey might make it possible with one key stroke, but I am not familiar with that.

I'd like to see a JavaScript and image blacklist. Sites on the list would be prevented from executing scripts and/or loading images. The rationale is that some sites have terrible load times with scripts and/or images on and an almost instantaneous load with them turned off. Salon and politico are two examples.

Availability for smartphones.

Hi Pesala, thanks for your tip, about bookmark search,
after I have done some exploring I found a simple solution that works greatly for me: press F2 and type, simple as that. It's not the same thing, but it's good enough.

Highlight a word or words - right-click, select Search with and choose one of any number or user-installed search engines. This is a very useful feature in Opera and will go a long way towards making Vivaldi my primary browser.
Thank you -
Hi guys/girls!
Vivaldi is awesome, thanks for your efforts. Would you please consider making it even more awesome and add a built-in RSS reader. Ty. -

I guess that will come when the email client is read.

It is starting to look good. Only thing I am missing is;
- Open tab in a new window: Nice to have the option to split the tab into a new window so that I can move it to another monitor.
- Open tab next to active
- Ability to right click on extensions to manage them. So that you don't need to go via the file menu.
Keep up the good work!

Unicode for URLs in the address bar would be nice.

REQUEST - TWO SIMPLE MOUSE COMMANDS
Both of these are useful and totally natural for me, and are from the older versions of Opera.
1/ Click-and-hold to open the link in a new, background tab.
This is in addition to the two current methods: middle click, and CTRL+left click.
I can't usually middle click my mouse without it sending a scroll message as well, which renders the middle click method incredibly awkward.2/ CTRL + ROLL to zoom in and out.
By that I mean hold down the CTRL key, and then roll the mouse wheel.
I justify this request by saying that CTRL + ROLL is a standard zoom command in almost all Windows programs that support zoom (don't know about other platforms).Thanks for considering these!

REQUEST - NEW METHOD OF MAKING SPEED DIAL FOLDERS
1/ Please let me create Speed Dial folders automatically by dragging one shortcut over another.
2/ Then let me move further shortcuts into the folders simply by dragging them over the folder.I would find this much quicker, more convenient and more intuitive than the current method, which feels decidedly clunky.
Thank you.

**REQUEST - QUICK ACCESS TO SPEED DIAL
Please add a Speed Dial icon next to the Home icon so on any open tab I can go instantly to Speed Dial.**
I find I need to go to Speed Dial just as often as I need to go to the Home page, if not more.
Thanks
-
REQUEST - ALLOW HOME PAGE TO BE SPEED DIAL
It would be useful if the home page could be the speed dial page (as an option, in addition to it being a single URL). I find I tend to use Speed Dial more often as my launching point anyway.

I switched to Firefox from Opera 12 and implemented a few add-ons to make up for lacking functionality (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/user/sblask/) I'd seriously consider switching if the functionality would make it into Vivaldi (the coming integrated mail is the killer feature!). In particular:
- click on tab to "minimize" tab, see https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-deque/ for more information, especially the clickToBackground option, there should also be a mouse gesture and keyboard shortcut for that
- it should be possible to open new tabs next to the current one
- copy from selection to note, insert from note (I had implemented https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/simple-form-fill/ to fill this gap)
- FastForward should be triggered with space at a page's bottom (see https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/space-next/) and go through images, possibly with a different shortcut (see https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/image-forward/)
- all mouse gestures should be configurable, I also missed the open link in background gesture
- from my speed dial extension that is still in review(https://github.com/sblask/firefox-bookmark-dial): automatic number of rows/columns to always fill the screen, configurable speed dial folder(use case: one folder for work, one folder for home while using the same sync account), add current page directly through context menu
I also love the possibility to configure keyboard shortcuts, this should include shortcuts coming from extensions.

What's wrong with this Speed Dial icon?

For now, if you want to re-use any tab you are in by turning it into a speed dial page, you can put a bookmark on the bookmarks bar with the destination:
chrome-extension://mpognobbkildjkofajifpdfhcoklimli/components/startpage/startpage.html
and with a single click on it, you will find yourself on Speed Dial. -
Traffic Shaping in Browser
I think it would be an awesome, unique and innovative feature if Vivaldi had some sort of traffic shaping built in. Automatic or even manually.
Vivaldi should prioritize the active tab first, live streaming services like Twitch or Netflix second (if in the background), Youtube third highest priority and so on. And lastly the huge download that takes forever can be the lowest priority (except you say otherwise!)
I don't think any other browser does this. And it can't be easily achieved with other software either.
I believe this is a feature that should exist and Vivaldi should be the browser to do it.

Simply that it creates a new tab, and opens that with Speed Dial. I then have to go back to the previous tab and close it.
