(History of) Vivaldi Feature Requests

Tiamarth

[ul]

Option to turn off the password manager completely

"Go to web address" right click option for highlighted text

Add right click to the F2 menu. Options are "edit hotkeys" and "edit gestures"
[/ul]

Paste " vivaldi://settings/search#a " into your address bar, find "Passwords and forms," untick "Offer to save your web passwords" and (optionally) "Enable Autofill to fill out web forms in a single click."
I seem to recall this is a known bug, but it might just be a requested feature. Try searching the forums.
That's a good idea, you have my support.

@Dovelove:

Would you please in panels put a permanent tab in bookmarks called Open Tabs and be able to search those open tabs with bookmark search?

Open the Quick Commands menu (F2) and filter your tabs there.

@kliew:

Please add the ability to right click on the back button and get a history of prev pages

I've seen it requested at least once before. I honestly don't care either way since I right click/long click interchangeably in other browsers to do the same thing. Of course, the point of Vivaldi is to cater to power users who tend to like options, so including this as an option or having it behave the same way as other browsers would be ideal.

Ayespy

Why just 'OK'? Why not? I don't have to be enthusiastic about an idea that I don't find important.

As to your solution for Tabs Outliner, kewl. There's a partial solution for one kind of extension that generates one type of window.

Panel goes light when Light UI selected
Option to remove X close button in tabs (I use middle click)
Option for middle / double click on tab bar to open new tab
(if feature request 3 done) Option to remove + button from tab bar
Option to open background tabs next to (to the right of) active tab
Option to close tab and move to the tab to the left of closed tab (would apply to down-right mouse gesture too)
(Instead of 6) full Opera 12 mouse gesture customisation – I understand this one is a bit of a big ask
UI performance improvements -- I understand this is constantly being worked on, but still a major issue for me, significantly more sluggish compared to other browsers, despite having a very good system
Note formatting options (bold, underline, etc. link, images? or just make it a HTML wysiwyg editor of sorts?
Bookmark folder locking (password protection)
Option to collapse all bookmarks by default (rather than remembering my last opened folders)
Bonus -- transparent / aero theme

Just trying to put everything out there, love it as it is, and have only recently made the change from the new Opera.

See this post.
Using the guide from the post in #1, add this style:

#tabs .tab:hover .close {
	display: none !important
}

```3) See [this post.](https://vivaldi.net/forum/all/3073-vivaldi-ui-customisations#24520)
4) Using the guide from the post in #1, add this style:

#tabs .newtab {
display: none !important;
}

9) Notes use markdown style of formatting. See [this website.](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/basics)
12) [This thread](https://vivaldi.net/forum/all/3073-vivaldi-ui-customisations) might have something to help you there.

Can't thank you enough Tiamarth, great post. I'm almost ashamed that I didn't put in the effort to search for all this myself, Vivaldi a lot more customisable than I initially thought.

Well, good to know I guess…did you used to post on the Opera blog? You seem familiar

It's the same type of window as any other Vivaldi window except that it hides the address bar. The problem is probably that extensions are restricted from creating any window at all.

Been posting on Opera blogs & forums since about 2000, and still do occasionally. Been posting here since the day after the first public release, Jan.28.15. I'm sure I probably seem familiar.

It would be awesome to have a RSS and IRC client along withj the mail client (and a BitTorrent client would be useful too).

Doomer

Could you please rename the tab containers back to what they were since a lot of css tweaks were broken by that and it's just an annoyance.

No worries

If everyone used the search function and found for themselves the workarounds or answers to a lot of the questions they asked, these forums would be a lot quieter and a lot more boring.

sisisisi

It would be very helpful in some cases if one could disable sounds on a tab by clicking on the speaker icon next to the tab's name.

Thank you in advance, and keep going on, Vivaldi team!

Request:

Bookmarks button shortcut. For example Opera opened the menu after clicking the adress bar, and normally it was hidden. Maxthon or Firefox have an extra icon next to the adress bar (preffered option, one less click required). Quick bookmark exploration is a must, and it saves going to an extra tab, or having another permanent bar under the adress bar.

kar82

I'm missing a feature or maybe I don't find the option (???):

Always open a new tab from adress- or searchbar. At the moment there is always overwriting my tabs, if I writing/opening something in/from the adress- and searchbar.

Thank you!

Option to turn off the password manager completely
[/ul]

Paste " vivaldi://settings/search#a " into your address bar, find "Passwords and forms," untick "Offer to save your web passwords" and (optionally) "Enable Autofill to fill out web forms in a single click."

No such thing to be found here… :huh:

Closest thing I can find is a "Passwords" section, within the "Privacy" separator; and the only thing there is "No saved passwords found.".

BTW, when I get back to the Settings tab, it always jump to the first separator ("Startup")

Don't use "vivaldi://settings" but rather "chrome://settings"

The browser converts the address in the URL box to "vivaldi" but that is not the real address. The real address is "chrome"

Don't use "vivaldi://settings" but rather "chrome://settings"

It looks like sometimes they (both) work, sometimes they do not, I can not figure out a patter to report. Say "vivaldi://settings/mouse" goes, as expected, to Setting tab, Mouse separator. "vivaldi://settings/randomKeyHere" show all settings. Or not… :S

Anyway, them both, plus "alt-P", plus "Tools > Setings", all land on the same Settings page. And in that Page I find no setting to disable saving passwords or anything about forms. (1.0.303 @ linux)

Ayespy

The applicable pattern is that any Chrome internal address for which there is no Vivaldi replacement, or which Vivaldi has not disabled, will open the same way it does in Chrome if you use chrome:// However, the word "chrome" will be replaced with "vivaldi" in the address bar at the resulting page.

If there is a Vivaldi-only version of the page, then vivaldi:// will work for that.

In windows 10, at least, chrome://settings/search#a takes you to the Chrome internal page where this setting exists. I'm firing up my Lubuntu machine right now to see if it works there as well. Will report the results.

Ayespy

OK: So, on my version of Lubuntu as well, chrome://settings/search#a also takes you to the internal chrome page that has the setting you are looking for.

Tiamarth

When I first wrote that post it's possible that I absent mindedly copied and then pasted the URL to that page from the address bar without modifying it before I hit "Submit."

Here, on Linux Mint 17.2:

vivaldi://settings takes me to the Vivaldi settings dialogue.
vivaldi://chrome/settings/search#a (what I usually use to access the internal Chromium settings) takes me to the Chromium settings page, as expected
Ayespy's variant, chrome://settings/search#a, takes me to the same page as #2 - which makes it more efficient as it's shorter to type.

Here's what to look for to disable the password manager once you get to the right page:

Oh! Got it, at last. They all work as you (both) say. Thank you

I must have done something wrong when replacing vivaldi by chrome… or changed the wrong one.

Any link without the "#a"? Just in case there is a odd setting without an 'a'.

Ayespy

Doesn't seem to work without at least some search syntax, ON THIS PARTICULAR PAGE for some reason. I don't really know why. If your desired internal page should also require a search term and there (unaccountably) is no "a" in it, you could always try "e" because it is the most commonly used letter in the entire English language.
