(History of) Vivaldi Feature Requests
-
When i type an url i would like vivaldi to ask if it should switch to an already opened tab with the same url/hostname.
-
Currently you can only enable or disable gestures. It would be great if you could customize gestures. In my current work flow in other browsers, I only use the following gestures and it would be great if I could set up Vivaldi to do the same.
[ul]- Hold Right Mouse Button + Click Left => Close Tab
- Hold Right Mouse Button + Wheel Scroll Up => Left Tab
- Hold Right Mouse Button + Wheel Scroll Down => Right Tab
[/ul]
-
"Open link in new tab" should default to a background tab and the "Open link in background tab" should be changed to "Open link in foreground tab"
-
In the speed dial window, please make the speed dial folders (at the top folder bar and also in the window) sorted alphabetically by default, or provide an option to do so.

@partounian:
I'm surprised I haven't seen this yet, but switching to tabs by doing command+[tab-number] or control+[tab-number].
I can heartily second this request - this will make the browser much more usable to me!

Love what you're doing with Vivaldi. I haven't been this excited about a new browser since Flock was making the rounds. There's a lot of fine tuning to do, but Vivaldi has great stuff doing for it.
My feature request is to expand on the Quick Commands feature, particularly the tab cycling.
My proposal is for it to work like this:
1. All tabs in the quick command box should have a close and new tab button. The New Tab will create a new tab immediately below (or to the right in the tab bar) ready to receive input for the new url box.
2. All tabs in the Quick Command should have a close button so tabs can be managed efficiently from the tab bar.
3. Whenever a tab is selected, you should be able to start typing in it to replace the current url.
4. Have an option to have quick command entries behave identically to typing in the url bar. I frequently type something in just to do a search as I would in the url bar, but nothing happens unless I start with "g" for google or something comparable.
I'd also propose some keyboard actions for each command. By default, perhaps Tab to create a new tab below the selected one, and cntrl+backspace to close a tab in this manner? I'm not sure if There would be issues with using the usual cntrl+T and cntrl+W to create and close tabs in this manner.In any case, my main reason for this feature request is that I run Vivaldi in full screen mode and generally have the url and tab bar hidden as they are unescessary for my browsing experience aside from closing tabs and changing a web page to a new url. The Quick Command feature can become a full replacement for these longstanding web browser staples for those that choose to use it as such.
This may seem kind of elaborate, but I think they're natural expansions of a fantastic feature you guys have implemented. I know while Command Tabbing on MacOS to switch applications, you can quit any open application by pressing Q, which is super useful and a similar concept.

It would be nice to be able to set default behaviour to open external links in new tabs.
-
"Rename tab" feature.
Thanks! -
Bookmark icon in toolbar
-
Please make it possible to add create an cover for the speed dial folders. The simple folder icon gets really boring.
-
I got a really smooth transition from Opera 12.17 to Vivaldi the last months but there is one (maybe silly) thing, I miss in comparison to Opera:
I always try to add a webpage to my bookmark bar by dragging the tab into the bar and then remember that I have to drag the address field.
Could you maybe include this feature into a future build?Thank you

Hi,
That's a great feature in Firefox, and I'm not ready to give it up: the ability to add a parameter in bookmark keywords (~ nicknames).e.g.
if I want to be able to call a dictionary within the URL bar, let's say an English/Spanish dictionary:- create a bookmark
- the bookmarked URL will be http://dictionary.reverso.net/english-spanish/%s
where %s is a parameter - the nickname is, let's say, 'es'
- then I just have to call 'es building' to get the translation of 'building' in Spanish.
Time saving and (I guess) easy to code!
Thanks!

Hello, I noticed I can disable the Download Panel from opening automatically upon download. Unfortunately, if I do that, I don't get any significant indication that a download has started, except for the progress bar filling up on side. I think the option of having downloads popping up for a few seconds when a download starts would be nice.
-
When clicked on a link to download something, if the option to download always to the same location is not selected, please open the save as dialog directly and not the browser download dialogue where you can select save/save as/…
-
It would be fine to add saving pages as .mht
-
Now that we have editable mouse gestures, I'd like to see one of the most useful gesture options that Opera had.
A mouse gesture for going to the top of a page. Basically having a mouse gesture assigned to a keystroke (in this case, the 'Home' keyboard key).
-
Second the request for fuzzy search. Just learned about Quick Commands (Command + E on the mac). It's similar to Sublime Text, but fuzzy matching would make this a game changer.
-
in the cookie editor add a pin button beside the delete button.
so you can clear all other or disable cookies completely, but keep the ones for your favorite sites. -

I also need this as I use it frequently in Opera: GoTo Start; GoToEnd would be good but even more is possible in Opera 12.17:
GestureUp = Open link in new page | Stop | Go to start | Close page
GestureDown = Open link in background page | Go to end | New page -
Hi,
Love Vivaldi first of all - So thanks for developing such a useful browser!
My feature request is around tab stacking and to have a setting(tick box) to automatically stack links opened from a page. With this setting you should also be able to choose the maximum number before stacking stops or limit say to 4/5 by default.
Currently, you have to open separate links and then stack after by dragging tabs atop one another. If this setting can be included then it makes the stacking more useful from the get go.
Two other parts to this are that you could then make each stacked tab only have their Icon which gives more space for the user to click on instead of the really tiny tab line. This addition may require rows for lots of stacked tabs or using only the first letter of a site similarly to pinned sites in safari on mac. The other part of this would the be that the rewind feature could be used on the latest opened tab to close all tabs and leave only the originally opened page. This would only apply if the rewind/fast forward is turned on or after hovering over the last tab X button for say 3 seconds.
Take for instance I go to google and search for Arsenal (bottlers i know, i know) –> open arsenal fc site which stacks with icon (no narrative) -> open skysports.com/arsenal it stacks with icon --> open arseblog.com it stacks with icon etc etc up until a limit say of 5 and then any new tabs create a completely new stack with the same limit and the first page becomes the starting point for that stack. The tab stacks would look something like the attached picture and, as mentioned, you would rewind on the last tab in the stack.
Not sure if this is possible or already present somehow but I like the current implementation just that it's a bit fiddly and makes the initial stack process feel disjointed. Hope this can be done.
Keep up the good work!

p.s. syncing with google account (i've dumped chrome for vivaldi) would be great as a lot have mentioned and also lower memory usage on mac because vivaldi does not seem as responsive as chrome or safari (although that may be subjective)
