(History of) Vivaldi Feature Requests

HarHarLinks

this first felt like an app - which I didn't like
enable Ctrl+Shift+V in URL bar (paste and execute)
show keyboard shortcuts in vivaldi button menu
cleanup vivaldi button menu to match opera 12 functionality
make it possible to use not only private windows (new opera), but private tabs (opera 12)
settings menu as a tab instead of in a window
where is the browsing history?
restore last closed tab via Ctrl+Z/Ctrl+Shift+T
i liked the list of closed tabs better than the history (recycle bin button)
set up a proper bugtracker/feature request site instead of a forum? eg JIRA (see Mojira for Minecraft)
it would make configuring mail a lot easier if you could browse for the details (like server, ports) while in the email settings window (opera 12 settings window blocked using the browser in the background)
add personalization features based on themes but also without (colors, speed dial wallpaper…)
disable sound per tab by clicking on speaker icon
Also I agree with most of the stuff already said previously.

Now you really got my hopes up, I'm hoping for the best.
Did you ever consider working together with the guys of otter-browser.org project?

Little something from me

1. Don't know exactly how to describe it… But, Im using Debian as my main OS, and im used to use secondary clipboard (I copy with selecting text, and I paste using middle mouse button). On "old" Opera I was able to "paste" from my secondary clipboard any text anywhere(empty space, not link, or form filed) on any webpage and it did paste in addres bar and "go" there.
If it was text it googled it, if it was url then it was opened.
By pasting using middle button on button to open new tab I would open new tab with that text/url.

2. It would be nice if addres bar would dissapear while scrolling down webpage. Just like chrome on Android does.

possibility to disable/reduce animations (colored tabs without fade, when clicking the magnifying glass in search bar etc), especially those that hinder productivity through waiting etc
customizable navbar (ie remove home button, search field)
"Show image details…" via image context menu
display image centered

Things I'd like to see:
– Paste and go under Ctrl+Shift+V, Reopen last closed tab via Ctrl+Shift+T
– Site preferences
– Built-in UserJS and UserCSS managers (I don't really need any other "extensions")
– Built-in content blocker
– A dark theme (and I don't like changing the colour of my toolbars)
– A possibility to remove the empty space above tabs
– Mouse gestures: left-up = reopen last closed page, down-up = duplicate page (I won't cry for configuration options if I've got those)

Things I actually like in Opium:
– Alternative status bar with only link href and title text
– New tabs' order – for example when I have tabs: 1 2 3 and i open tabs a b c (in that order) from tab 2, I get 1 2 a b c 3

It would be nice to have:
– Never open a new tab unless I wish so, by holding Ctrl (new background tab) or Shift (New active tab)
– "Display cached images only" option

So, that's my first impressions:

allow to clear last closed tabs list.
let me modifiy the UI: remove icons, add new ones, change size of search bar
CTRL+B does not open a bookmarks sidebar for me (CTRL+H works fine)
improve tab stacking, make it more like in O12. allow me to expand stack, move one tab from one stack to another
while refreshing/loading, show refresh animated icon instead of site's favicon.
allow to hide 'plus' on speed dial
improve download manager, make it more like O12. add option to open file location, add file details, allow me to choose where to save a file
after inserting a search prefix into the address bar. change the icon to the search engine logo (like in new Opera)
display images centered
allow to set own background in the speed dial
allow to set own thumbnail to speed dials entries
add polish localization
redesign the UI!
performance, performance, performance…

The vertical bookmark bar on the right side is a big step ahead ..

What i would really like to have is a permanent vertical personal bar with a selected set of bookmarks as it used to exist in Opera 12 (in addition to the bookmark collection).

Importing bookmarks from other browsers
Synchronizing bookmarks
Synchronizing notes

– Paste and go under Ctrl+Shift+V, Reopen last closed tab via Ctrl+Shift+T AND Ctrl+z
– Site preferences
– Built-in content blocker (or opera/chrome extension support for adblock plus)
– A possibility to remove the empty space above tabs
– Mouse gestures:
*left-up = reopen last closed page
*down-up = duplicate page
*up-left = "one level up" on the page (for example from /images/ to / )
– Single key shortcuts! This is big for me! (1/2 for previous/next tabs, "." for search etc.)
– Tab stacking behaviors (close one, not all in stack etc. I believe this will be done anyway)
– Quick settings (at least enable/disable proxy)
– Private tabs

Also New opera seems to have "renderless" area when you scroll fast, Vivaldi don't have it.

Oh, just forgot:
implement session manager - like in O12

marcint

Past and go
Mouse gesture (where is open new tab?)
Select text - search with
remove search bar
Download in new tab
New Skin, trash icon is ugly
Performance
Open bookmark in new tab

mozzer

smooth scrolling
after clicking in 'plus' button in speed dial, the add new item bar should disappear when clicking somewhere in SD area - not only after click again on the 'plus'

zakius

two most important things (as I can live with external mail client)
CONFIGURABLE mouse gestures, including rocker gestures and wheel actions
newsfeed

also: exactly EVERY SINGLE ACTION or macro bindable to gestures and keyboard shortcuts or hotkeys

this is the core of Opera, and should be core of any web browser

Please add search suggestions in address and search bar.

Hi there,

Thanks for the Vivaldi team, it really gives me the feeling I had with the old Opera browser.

However, I have a concern that would prevent me huge time from using it.

In Windows (7) I am using portable keyboard layout to switch my input keyboard layout to colemak. (http://pkl.sourceforge.net/)
Somehow Vivaldi doesn't seem to pick up my changed input layout, but only recognises the QWERTY keys.

All other programs work fine with pkl and it would be great if Vivaldi did as well.

I will give it the linux version a try where I don't have the extra layer to change my input layout.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks

Oisin

just adding to the list

automatic re-load page after x minutes
define new search engines using context menu entry in search boxes
open sites from speed dial using Ctrl+number

Here are my few cents, sorry if I'm repeating others' requests.

[ul]

Middle-mouse button in tab bar = open new tab.
Mouse gesture down = new tab.
Right-click on "back" button = open history of "backs".
"Back" mouse gesture in Speed Dial to leave a folder.
"Open new tab next to current tab" setting.
[/ul]

That's what came to my mind after some 20 minutes with Vivaldi. Can't wait for future builds!
