Command Chain Recipes

luetage

@jumpsq The other way around, I think it’s a bug it works as command chain. I would assume the issue is the command can be triggered on a window where m3 is supposed to be unreachable.

jumpsq

@luetage Well, it's not an issue, though as it works without issues to compose messages in other windows. But we're derailing - it would need a Gwen now to offer us to split threads ...

luetage

@jumpsq It’s about command chains. Moreover I will link all shared command chains from OP at some point. I see no issue discussing something like this here.

Thanks you @luetage for "Search Engine with Selection"!

This one is for Selected text to be searched in two search engines and tile the result as shown in the gif.
(In reality it's not as smooth because the new tab command opens "Start page" for a moment so it's more flickering..)

*In my case I used google search for etymology so there is a lot of empty space on left side so I used "Stylus" chrome extension with this code.

@chimeralove In both instances you are using the search engine nickname e. Otherwise great job.

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.

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.');}})();

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

Parameter：

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

Paste

alt text

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.

derDay

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.

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.

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

Select Current 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.

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.

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

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)

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

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

@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.
