Is it possible to send keys in a Command Chain?

Like this in AHK (or a number):

Send, {LButton}

@luetage

I remind you of this question.

@barbudo2005 lol, sorry. No, I can’t think of a way right now. You can simulate key and mouse events through Javascript and you can obviously give that a try, it’s not complicated, but I think it’s deemed insecure and therefore won’t work from a bookmarklet.

Share Current Page with OS Share Menu

This command chain makes it easier to share a link with additional details (when supported). It will pull the current tab's URL, title, and og:description ( a short description of the webpage's contents that page owners can choose to provide) and pass them to the OS' share dialog that can redirect you to various apps and websites where you might want to share the link.

Command Chain:

Open Link in Current Tab
Parameter: javascript:(()=>{if(navigator.share){navigator.share({title:document.title,text:document.querySelector('meta[property="og:description"]')?.content,url:location.href}).then(()=>{history.replaceState({},"",location.href)})}})();

Notice for Linux users, who would want to give this command chain a try: navigator.share doesn’t work on Chromium yet, therefore it won’t do anything.

@erazer101 Thanks for the HotkeyHighlightSearch command chain, very useful. Am I right when I say a single key shortcut, instead of a "normal shortcut like CTRL+Q, does not work?

@luetage Thanks for the DeepL command chain.

You also stated:

command chains have replaced bookmarklets

I have a bookmarklet that kills so-called stickies on a webpage, like a pop-up at the bottom of the page.

I don't know which command to use for that. This is the parameter:

javascript:(function%20()%20{%20var%20i,%20elements%20=%20document.querySelectorAll('body%20*');%20%20for%20(i%20=%200;%20i%20<%20elements.length;%20i++)%20{%20if%20([%22sticky%22,%20%22fixed%22].includes(getComputedStyle(elements[i]).position))%20{%20elements[i].parentNode.removeChild(elements[i]);%20}%20}%20})();

@luetage re your command chain Copy Page Address, can you tell me where to add the code?

I ask because after command 6, Focus Page, there is no box to add the code.

The stuff in { } brackets at the end of these posts is a repeat of the steps listed above them, but in a form you can directly import into Vivaldi if you use a JS mod that adds that functionality.

See this section of the first post in the thread:

Backup and Share

Command Chains are not part of Vivaldi Sync. This means we lose our chains when we setup a new profile, or create a separate installation. Inputting everything again is tiresome, especially with a big chain collection. Fortunately @tam710562 has created a custom modification, which can both import and export command chains from and to files and the clipboard. This makes it possible to share chains directly, because he has even coded a direct install button for command chains shared on the forum. It’s definitely worth it and a big help and I would urge you to try it out, even if you haven’t bothered with Javascript modifications before. Here a link to the modification ☛ https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/723047, and here a link to the modifications forum board ☛ https://forum.vivaldi.net/category/52/modifications. Read pinned topics for introduction and help.

Many thanks for that explanation. The 6 steps work, I have not tried the JS side.

@Granite1 Bookmarklets are bookmarks containing Javascript code. They have to be opened in the same tab to work on the page. Therefore the command would be “open link in current tab” and the parameter is your script. It replaces the URL.

Yep, that works fine. Thanks for your help.

Mail Mode:

Mail
Mail Panel

Mail Panel does not exist.

@Granite1 You have to enable mail, calendar, and feeds from vivaldi:settings/mail/.

@luetage said in Command Chain Recipes:

There is no good reason (other than sync) for saving Javascript code as a bookmark when using Vivaldi.

I adopted this enthusiastically to declutter my bookmarks bar. Trigering a bookmarklet means that, as per the recipe, the URL of page is replaced by the command's parameter (the former bookmarklet's code) and there is no way to get the URL back than by relaunching the page from where it came originally.

Are you aware of this, @luetage ?

@luetage said in Command Chain Recipes:

Of course I have those enabled, basically from the day I installed Vivaldi.

BTW, I assume your reply refers to my Mail Panel remark.

luetage

@Granite1 Try out the tab scroll command chain ☛ https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/509249 and check its code. You can fix the address by using the history.replaceState() method, most bookmarklets shared here use it.

If you have mail enabled, but no mail panel, you can drop it on the panel container by customizing the toolbar/opening the toolbar editor and choosing “panel” in the dropdown. There you’ll find it.

I am afraid I am out of my depth.

Here it is (presumably you mean the javascript part):

You then say:

How do I do that?

You then say:

If you have mail enabled, but no mail panel

To be clear, I do have the mail panel shown on the right.

What I don't have is the mail panel option in the dropdown that I am supposed to use in Command 2.

@Granite1 You add history.replaceState as instruction to your bookmarklet. The bookmarklet code you are using and viewing is all minimized, because it has to be on one line to be used as a URL. It helps prettifying the code again to get a clearer look and to learn how to add it to your existing bookmarklets. Take a look at my bookmarklet gist ☛ https://gist.github.com/luetage/6a66af73a4dd264fcb05fe24926b2e36. There you can see it in action. To do this yourself you should get a code editor with automatic formatting, or use the duckduck go feature to prettify/minimize for edits and command chain versions ☛ https://duckduckgo.com/?q=javascript+beautifier&t=vivaldi&ia=answer.

“Mail Panel” is an existing command. There is a mail command, a panel command, and a mail panel command. The mail command opens the mail tab and the mail panel. The mail panel command toggles the mail panel. The panel command toggles the panel container.
