(History of) Vivaldi Feature Requests

carlonike

I miss these Opera 12's features:

plug-in: click to play
View page in Author mode or User mode with one click
Create / Customize toolbar

I don't know if someone has already thought of these ideas:

Add bookmarks should have folders tree for search between subfolders. Now only display all folders, and we don't know which folders are inside each.
Show in address bar if the site has been written is in bookmarks showing a star at the end of the address (like firefox). Actually, we don't know if it's in our bookmarks, only if we go to the site.
Option to display developer tools dock inside the browser, bottom or right location (like chrome). It's a little bit annoying to have the dev tools in a new window when using a small screen and it doesn't fit well when dividing the screen in two.

And my last suggestion: upload vivaldi code to github and let the community help and improve this incredible browser.

Mouse wheel click in History tab to open a link in a new tab. This is the normal behaviour, why is it different in History?

Please add "Zoom" option by holding down CTRL and scrolling with the mouse wheel. All other browser has this, and it's super useful.

For the time being, you can use ctrl+shift+scrollwheel

Please add a function to save a complete web page as a single file. (Typically a .mht file)

Open bundle.js in a text editor, replace
e.shiftKey===!0&&n&&!z.isInternalPage(
with
e.shiftKey===!1&&n&&!z.isInternalPage(

I second the request for choosing which tab gets focus when you close your current one. The Chrome way (you switch to the next tab on the right) is the best way:

It allows you to open multiple tabs and then easily read them in order, closing them one by one.

Right now I go hell knows where when I close a tab. I kinda understand the logic behind it (it reminds me of pre-Blink Opera days), and it's terribly inconvenient.

EDIT: also, can new tabs get opened next to the one I'm opening them from (in a line, one after another)? Right now, if I have 5 tabs and I open something from Tab#2, it spawns as Tab#6, not as Tab#3 (which is preferred).

I can't believe that I haven't seen anyone who is missing the possibility to drag and drop stuff directly FROM the download-panel.

For exampel if I download a pdf I want to be able to drag that from the panel instead of browsing after the file.
Or a nzb-file straight to my download-queue.

Now I have to "Browse after files, go do the download-folder and choose the file".
It's not difficult but it's a tedious process that I left behind two years ago while I was using Chrome.

Also, what's the point of dragging an url to the tab-section to open a new tab?
Just scroll-click the url instead, or am I missing something?

Cheers!

First, thanks for the great work: Vivaldi has almost instantly become my favorite browser, and it even gets better!

Two things that are little annoyances to me, and for which I'd love to see preferences:

I'm on a Mac, and when I command-click on a link, it opens in a background tab. This is not the behaviour I'm used to, and it would be really nice to have a preference to display the tab at once. I have all my browsers configured this way, and having to remember to do command+shift+click on Vivaldi is a little bit annoying.
The ability to switch tabs via the mousewheel in the tab bar is probably a very nice thing for some users, but for me, it's a bit of a nightmare: the so-called Apple 'Magic Mouse' uses the whole surface of the mouse to scroll, and it's extremely sensitive. So I very often end up switching tabs when it's not what I want to do. An option to disable tab-switching with the mousewheel would be very nice, please…

Thanks!

Download same file type into last folder used by that file type. Firefox does this and I think it's pretty great idea.

@papagei2:

Thank you very much for this browser and for all the great work you are doing :cheer:

I started to use opera from version 1 and I still use opera 12 on several Linux systems and win 7. I am using always the latest Vivaldi snapshots since January 2015. The only reason I did not yet suspend opera 12 is the mail client.

So my main request is a mail client

less important but still very nice would be: size adaption of the speed dial thumbnails - so that all thumbnails (I like to use a lot) are always visible on the screen (like in opera 12)

import and export of passwords and speed-dial-thumbs (if possible: all settings )

DITTO! Getting tired of Opera 12 getting messed up by many new websites.

Feature Request: Allow stacked (and tiled) tabs to be pinned

BeOS

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,

RichardDick
