CTRL+PgUp and CTRL+PgDn not mapped to Previous / Next Tab

stewartwb

In most tabbed window interfaces it's possible to move forward and backward among the tabs using two different sets of keystrokes: CTRL+TAB or CTRL+PgDn moves forward (right) to the Next Tab CTRL+SHIFT+TAB or CTRL+PgUp moves backward (left) to the Previous Tab Vivaldi supports the CTRL+TAB combinations but not the CTRL+PgUp/PgDn combinations. Would you please add CTRL+PgUp/PgDn as standard keys to navigate tabs? Thanks!

You can add these mappings in Settings/Keyboard under the Tab section.

However, the Ctrl+ modifier is NOT processed correctly. Using Ctrl+PgUp/Down to switch tabs:
[ol]

Scrolls the initial tab 1 page. IOW, the PgUp/Down keypress is sent as if Ctrl were not used.
Then switches tabs correctly.
[/ol]
Please fix this custom key-mapping bug.

I am not seeing any bug here. If I assign those shortcuts, all works as expected.

I am using Vivaldi 32-bit 1.0 final on Windows 7 64-bit.

I submitted a bug report for this last month. VB-14168.

– Browser version: 1.2.490.39

I have to agree that this issue appears to be a bug (and not a feature.)
In other browsers ctrl+pgdn and ctrl+pgup allow prev and next tab navigation.

This basic functionality can be replicated in Vivaldi by assigning custom keyboard shortcuts. However upon invoking the shortcut, the pdgn/pgup keystrokes are still interpreted as actual page up/down events. The result is that you move to the prev/next tab, but your page also scrolls up/down. Scrolling the page is obviously not what the user wants.

The usual behavior associated with the pgup/pgdn keys should be bypassed when used with modifiers (e.g. ctrl, alt, …)

Thx,
Michael

P.S. I suggest loading several tabs (with content that's longer than the height of your screen) and navigate among them to really observe the issue.

I see the issue now in Snapshot 1.3. It also affects the Settings dialogue when trying to assign the shortcuts, i.e. a page down/up command is sent to the dialogue when defining the shortcut.

This issue is still present in v1.3.501.6.

Steps to replicate:
[ol]

Assign keyboard shortcuts:
[ul]
- Next tab: Ctrl+PageDn
Previous Tab: Ctrl+PageUp
[/ul]* Open a first tab (e.g. engadget.com)
Open a second tab (e.g. gizmodo.com)
Cycle through the tabs using the previously assigned shorcuts (i.e. Ctrl+PageDn and Ctrl+PageUp)
Notice that the contents of the web page will have scrolled down when using Ctrl+PageDn.
[/ol]

Still experiencing this bug on 1.3.551.30, Linux.
Doesn't seem to be JS-related, as it works on every page that I've tried it on, and just now the first ten tabs I had open.
(On that note, is it possible to blacklist certain sites from using single-key shortcuts on? Trello doesn't appreciate some of them/Google will take them as search box input)
