(History of) Vivaldi Feature Requests
-
Feature Request: Allow stacked (and tiled) tabs to be pinned
-
Feature Request: Allow users setup multiple accounts similar to Chrome
-
Thank you for this new, configurable and very promising browser.
I also (like users above) would very much like to have an option for tab focus after tab close, which gives the focus to the tab to the right of the closed one (if this exists) otherwise take the next tab left of the closed one.
This behaviour is for example implemented in chrome and is very useful for me.In this way, the tab focus steps to the right end and then always the rightmost tab is focused
This gives for me a very deterministic and useful tab focus order which allows for example a efficient workdown of multiple tabs opended on the right end, which may have been opened in the background, and therefore never had focus before.
Best, Peter

For me, it would be very helpful,
if the Bookmarks URL would be displayed (somewhere) when the mouse is hovering over the Bookmark.Since the Bookmarks names are often short and not very specific or unique (for example they are often the same on a full website), this gives me a very helpful and fast orientation, which bookmark is the right one (instead of clicking, loading and hoping …)
The URL display when hovering with the mouse over the bookmarks is implemented for example in Firefox, and a feature there, which I permanently enjoy.
Best, Peter

I'd like to ask for some more features.
[ol]
- The ability to label a whole thread like when you follow a thread in Opera 12 except with a nice colourful tag.
- The to set a priority on an email or thread and have that then able to be viewed in a heirarchical list. The items in that list being either able to be removed from the priority scheme or marked as completed.
- Like in Opera 12, reload every… for those old fashioned static web sites.
[/ol]
Thanks.

It would be lovely to have a consistent set of "where to open a new tab" options.
What scenarios are usually needed:
[ol]- open in current tab (now missing even in the context menu of a href)
- open in a new tab to the right from all the tabs
- open in a new tab next to the current
- open in a new tab stacked in the same group that the current tab is
[/ol]
(there's also "open in a new window" which is implemented and I intentionally omit it)
How to choose one?
[ol]- when opening a link (href), there's browser default behaviour (feature request 1: make this configurable: if a tab is in a stack, always open the new tab in the same stack; feature request 2: make this configurable: if a tab is not in a stack and the new tab is to be opened, to open it next to the current one or to the right from all other tabs) and the "target" property of the <a>element</a><a>
- there's also context menu, and feature request 3 is: add all 4 options there (the 4th option should read "open stacked with the current tab" so that if there's no stack, it is created; the option "open in a new tab" shoud be substituted with smth like "open in a new tab near" and "open in a new tab in the end of tab list")
- finally, it would be very nice not to open context menu, but choose one of the option quickly. How? Say, shift+click = open in a new tab. Or ctrl+click = open in the current tab. There can be a combination for "open in a new window" as well. But what if one wants to use shift+click as "open in the current tab"? Make this configurable! So, feature request 4: add option to set modifier keys (alt, ctrl, shift; smth else?) that make "click a link" action work as any of 5 options (4 listed above + "open in a new window")
[/ol]
PS ok, there's another thing: sometimes one needs to open several tabs without moving to them (googling in a way "ok, this may be interesting.. and this and this and this one […]. Now let's see if there's anything worthy among what I've found"). I guess, moving this to the context menu will make it way too big (as there will be 5x2 = 10 options). So, feature requests 5-6 are: allow to config where to move to newly opened tabs by default; and to set a modifier button, like shift+click = open but don't move to the opened tab/window.</a>

Thank you for great work so far! Here are some things, that are missing from my point of view:
1. I really enjoy possibility of placing tabs right or left. It helps to facilitate screen width. This would be even better, if left or right tabs' field have toggle edge, as Panel have, so I could show and hide it just by clicking on sccreen adge.
2. I cannot figure out, how build in dictionaries work. Turning on and swithing between dictionaries is very intuitive in Opera and Firefox. I think, you could base on their way of doing it.
3. If possible, .(dot)+searching word for text search in open page.
4. Ctrl+mousewheel for zoom would be better than Ctrl+Shift+mousewheel
5. Ctrl+mousewheel click (Ctrl+middle mouse button) for 100% zoom.Thanks,

Add config option to set the shortcut Ctrl+V in the URL textbox to "Paste and go" instead of just "Paste". Then, Vivaldi should check if the text that got pasted is a URL not just some text, and then go for it. If it is just some text, it might be better to just paste it as the user might want to do something else with that text.
-
Search engine: Add option to use POST like in Opera 12
-
Import data: Import search engines from Opera 12
-
Site preferences: Add this feature like in Opera 12
-
Download: Start downloads immediately while the user still has to choose the download folder (like Opera 12), not just after the user has chosen to "save" or "save as"
-
address bar: don't use auto-completion when the user pastes an URL
example: -
user pastes https://example.com/display/B/Plesk into the address bar
-
Vivaldi auto-completes to https://example.com/display/B/Plesk-i-dont-want-this (cause this URL has been used before)
-
-
For my workflow, it is currently a real showstopper, that on some places middle click does not open the URL in a new tab, but instead overloads the current tab with the new URL.
this is for example very annoying systematically for the navigation buttons in the address-bar, but also happens on some links in web-pages.please let consistently a middle click open the URL in a new tab (from bookmarks, navigation buttons, all links in webpages, etc.).
This does currently not work from navigation buttons, but also from links within some webpages (it works fine for example in firefox …)
Thank you

Please support Native Client (like Chrome does)! It is needed for different extensions from the Chrome Webstore (for instance, KroTor; judging by the description, it's quite a powerful and useful technology).
PS Oh, man, EveryCircuit needs Native Client, too!
-
Full Drag & Drop on Speed Dial site, so I could move thumbnail in & out folders, as well as group thumbnails (new folder automatically created).
EDIT: Ok, I can do it in Bookmark Panel, so this is not so urgent.
-
Please find a way to turn HTML5 OFF; really OFF and not just download the content and then hide it:-
Bruce Schneier | Jan 2016 Cryptogram: The Internet of Things that Talk About You Behind Your Back
Edit: Reported and logged as VB-12293An easy way to set MIME types without an Extension would be nice too.

Very minor but rather useful feature request:
please enable a new tab open on mouse wheel click in the tab bar like in Chrome or Firefox. -
Ok, so I found the feature request topic… :whistle:
copying over the contents of my last separate post:
Most of us are used to just typing a web address without the http:// prefix - Vivaldi handles this just fine. Maybe some of us are actively using local ( = not fully qualified host names, for example "http://localserver" - or in short form just "localserver") host names.
Now, Opera could be configured to try local host names first - and if local hostnames didn't resolve, go to "general search in address bar". Vivaldi, on the other hand, doesn't - it just jumps to "search from address bar". (btw, is this a Google problem? Android has similar problems with local host names)
So, I have to explicitly type "http://localhostname" everytime I want to open a local URL (which is often).
If I go and "disable search in address bar", this doesn't happen anymore - but then also the search shortcuts are disabled.
So this should maybe be a feature request:
best way: add "check local host names first" option
alternatively: add "disable search in address bar, but allow search shortcuts"
Any opinions on this?

I wonder about the usefulness of the trash icon on the tabs bar rather than in the show panel.
I would have preferred to see a Bookmarks button, undoubtedly more used. An addition to the Bookmarks bar, displayed or not.
I guess, I will not make you change before the final version but I prefer to say, heard or not. -
Please add search auto-completion (or it does not work in my linux version)
And make it able to use key shortcuts for any selected language, not only English (while it is Ukrainian shortcuts doesn't work except ctrl-c ctrl-v, while ctrl-f does not work) -
please add in "add search engine" the syntax field from the opera 12x
