Command Chain Recipes

[ChimeraLove]

Thanks to @shifte here is an alternative to Selected text to be searched in two search engines and tile the result which is faster and less flickering.

Use '+encodeURIComponent(b)+' instead of %S.

1
Open Link in Current Tab
Parameter:
javascript:(function(){var b=((window.getSelection&&window.getSelection())||(document.getSelection&&document.getSelection())||(document.selection&&document.selection.createRange&&document.selection.createRange().text));if(b!=''){window.open('https://www.google.com/search?q='+encodeURIComponent(b)+'%20etymology');}else{alert('You have not selected text.');}})();

Some suggestions for increasing the power of Command Chain Recipes from the extension "AutoControl: Custom shortcuts, Mouse gestures":

1.- ACTIONS

BASIC ACTIONS:

ADVANCED ACTIONS:

Tab Actions

Window Actions

[legobuilder26]

Mail Mode:

1. Mail
2. Mail Panel
3. Toggle Floating Panel (Optional - only if you use floating panel) No longer necessary, just make sure the mail panel isn't set to float

Exit Mail Mode:

1. Mail
2. Mail Panel
3. Toggle Floating Panel (Optional - only if you use floating panel) No longer necessary, just make sure the mail panel isn't set to float
4. Close Tab

Close Active Panel Obsolete - use "Toggle Current Panel" command instead.
Create a blank panel that you will never open - I used "vivaldi://blah" so it has a nice icon

1. Web Panel 1
2. Web Panel 1

For Close Active Panel:

1. Panel

By this chain, You will be able to capture and tweet quickly!

1. Capture Area to Clipboard (or Capture page to Clipboard)
2. Open Link in Current Tab

Parameter：

javascript:window.open("https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text="+encodeURIComponent(document.title)+" "+encodeURIComponent(location.href))

3. Delay (Parameter：1000)
4. Paste

P.S.
I use Vivaldi snapshot 4.1.2369.10 (arm64) on macOS BigSur 11.5.1 of M1 Macbook Air. This version has the issue. When I set Status-bar to Overlay or Hide, Capture Area feature is not working. If I set Status-bar to Show, this feature is working.

[Pesala]

@kyu3a Drag the camera icon to the address bar, then you can hide the status bar.

[kyu3a]

@pesala Thank you for replying! I could caputre without showing Status-bar.

general question:
is it possible, to adress the guestwindow?
at the moment, we can't give the URL of a tab (or a link) to guest window (links only to other profiles). with the command chain it would be possible, but I encountered, that I can't give the adress to a (new) guest window

any hints or tricks?

[luetage]

@derday Window commands of any kind are excluded from command chains, because a command chain runs as a process of the current window. I hope there will be a solution or workaround to this at some point.

[luetage]

These command chains had been featured in OP previously. Moved to collect links to all command chains instead.

Tab Scroll

Scrolls to top of the current page and scrolls back to initial position when toggled again. This is an existing browser modification, but works very well as command chain when assigning a shortcut to it. I’m using Shift-PageDown.

1. Open Link in Current Tab
   Parameter: javascript:(()=>{let o=window.pageYOffset;if(o>0){window.sessionStorage.setItem("tabOffset",o);window.scrollTo(0,0)}else{window.scrollTo(0,window.sessionStorage.getItem("tabOffset")||0)}history.replaceState({},"",location.href)})();

Close Tab Move Left

1. Previous Tab (by Order)
2. Delay
   Parameter: 100
3. Select Next Tab
4. Close Tab

Close Tab Move Right

1. Next Tab (by Order)
2. Delay
   Parameter: 100
3. Select Previous Tab
4. Close Tab

Control which tab gets activated after closing a tab. I personally use alt-, and alt-. to operate. Currently the only downside is you gotta disable »include active tab in initial selection« in vivaldi://settings/tabs, or both your tabs will be deleted.

Close Stack

1. Select Current Tab
2. Close Tab

There is no keyboard shortcut to close a tab stack, this simple command chain creates it. Works only if your active tab is part of the stack.

Open Clipboard in New Tab

1. New Tab
2. Delay
   Parameter: 300
3. Focus Address Field
4. Paste and Go

Whenever you copy a link by clicking on a dedicated webpage button, or you copied it in another application, this is the way to open the link in a new tab painlessly.

[luetage]

For me personally command chains have replaced bookmarklets. There is no good reason (other than sync) for saving Javascript code as a bookmark when using Vivaldi.

DeepL

1. Open Link in Current Tab
   Parameter: javascript:(function%20translate()%7Bfunction%20se(d)%20%7Breturn%20d.selection%20?%20d.selection.createRange().text%20:%20d.getSelection()%20%7Ds%20=%20se(document);for%20(i=0;%20i%3Cframes.length%20&&%20!s;%20i++)s%20=%20se(frames%5Bi%5D.document);if%20(!s%20%7C%7C%20s=='')%20s%20=%20prompt('Enter%20text%20to%20translate%20with%20DeepL','');open('https://www.deepl.com/translator#'+document.documentElement.lang+'/en/'%20+%20(s%20?%20encodeURIComponent(s)%20:%20'')).focus();%7D)();

Grabs your current selection and sends it to DeepL for translation.

Dark (Invert)

1. Open Link in Current Tab
   Parameter: javascript:(d=>{var css=`:root{background-color:#fefefe;filter:invert(100%)}*{background-color:inherit}img:not([src*=".svg"]),video{filter: invert(100%)}`,style,id="dark-theme-snippet",ee=d.getElementById(id);if(null!=ee){ee.parentNode.removeChild(ee)}else{style=d.createElement('style');style.type="text/css";style.id=id;if(style.styleSheet){style.styleSheet.cssText=css}else{style.appendChild(d.createTextNode(css))}(d.head||d.querySelector('head')).appendChild(style)}setTimeout(()=>{const t=window.location.href;window.history.replaceState("stateObj","",t)},300)})(document);

Similar to the invert filter in page actions. The difference is it tries to leave images alone and it doesn’t reload the page when toggled. See https://gist.github.com/frontdevops/8aea1e0252dd826488dad63319e3ec88

[luetage]

OP contains a collection of all command chains now, for an easier overview going forward.

[legobuilder26]

@luetage Love this, but didn't want to change the setting, so I slightly modified it:

Close Right

1. Next Tab (by Order)
2. Delay 100
3. Select Previous Tab
4. Select Current Tab (actually deselects it)
5. Close Tab

Close Left

1. Previous Tab (by Order)
2. Delay 100
3. Select Next Tab
4. Select Current Tab (actually deselects it)
5. Close Tab

[luetage]

@legobuilder26 This requires the exact opposite setting, good find. I dream of selection commands being independent from the setting when called from a command chain.

Periodic Reload Context Menu

To add the periodic reload menu to the Page Context menu so that you don't have to move your mouse cursor to the tab bar:

• Add a new Command Chain for each reload period that you wish to use: Name the Commands as 1 Minute, 2 Minutes, etc.
• In Settings, Appearance, Menu Customisation, Page Context Menu, add a new folder named "Periodic Reload*
• In the new folder, add your Command Chains for 1 Minute, 2 Minutes, etc.
