Vivaldi unlocks full versatility with Accordion Tabs and Command Chains

okaybadger

Select Previous Tab action behaved strangely when active within a Tab stack. Instead of selecting only the previous tab, it selected the whole stack. Is there any way to escape this behavior?

command chains are great! i hope one of these can be added next...

Great release again! Well done team.

With this release, screen capture does not work. Both from the menu and via short cuts I have manually created. Does anyone else has this issue?

Wow! That's a big one - for me personally at least.

When I ended my browser session I usually had to use 4(!) hotkeys to get rid of any storage data.

to close all other tabs
to close current tab
to clear browser session
also to clear browser session but with the use of "chrome://settings/clearBrowserData"

Yeah, just go on and call me paranoid - it's fine with me

Anyway, now with the magic of "Command Chains" I just have to press 1(!) hotkey to do the same job.

Made my week!

@reddy-shyam Capture area to clipboard/file doesn't work if status bar is set to hide/overlay.
Workaround: show status bar or move capture icon from status bar to address bar.

Thanks @hlehyaric for getting back. This wasn't the case in 4.0? Has anything changed? I am able to remove capture but how do I add to address bar?

@reddy-shyam To move icons, hold down the shift key, then drag and drop.

It is a new bug, aka a regression.

Thanks @pesala. That did the trick. Also thanks for confirming it's a regression. Will wait for the fix.

Why did the "new tabs" button move to far the far right of the tabs bar? And there's no option for it to be near the last tab?? Annoying!

@paulojrmam Happens sometimes, that is a known bug in Vivaldi 4.1.

Command chains is a game changer, as a power user Vivaldi has helped me allot and replaced many extensions and has features not found in any browser.
Another great release.

Very nice this and I understand the effort they make when adding things to chromium, but most of these novelties are only aesthetics that functionally do not add anything. Since they are not going to implement the automatic deletion of the session history when closing the browser, it would be good if they at least enabled (as they did with the calendar) to be able to view the mail in private mode.
Ah! the mail manager has an extra column (the size column) because it is empty and does not show any value.

@peterpanm: I am talking about the recent versions of Edge (aka. Edgium). Its tab bar with the shadow effect and drop-down menu look gorgeous.

Catweazle

@gabito , yes it has, in the privacy settings you can select how long you like to guard the browsing data, from Session only to Forever.

Nice new updates, but was hoping to see tab dragging given an option back to sliding and not the dotted-line-only method (aka floaty tabs)...

Since Stable 4.1 I'm facing random tab close situatuin. Example:
I'm on page with multiple links, hold ctrl and open 2,3,4 links in background. And while they are loading, switch to one of them, it got immediately closed, not happens 100% time, but pretty often.

I read with interest all the new Vivaldi developments and run Vivaldi on a windows computer, but I wished you would have a version for Chromebook, Chrome OS.

@reddy-shyam: That's an annoying bug. I was the one reworking that code, and I realize the mistake now. I'll look at it again on Thursday (currently on vacay).

@catweazle: Tabs are a bit small, address bar is a bit small. If i start fast clicking on tabs Vivaldi goes nuts. Not everybody have and use, latest the greatest system with zoomed resolution. Try using this browser on 10 years old laptop and it's not a slow laptop, Firefox and Chrome runs just fine on it, just Vivaldi is something special.

Catweazle

@ipristy , in the settings you can adjust the min tabs and bars width, also the font hights, this is what make the mesures, smaler fonts= smaler bars.
