How to Use Vivaldi Effectively

Vivaldi has feature to customise every menu it has, and this helps making browsing with mouse more convenient.

First, customise the menus:

• Go to Vivaldi Settings
• Customise the menus by removing extra features
  • So context menu items can be clicked directly without scrolling the menus

Second, put 'Close Tab' on all context menus of types of elements in webpage, eg. Page, Link, Image, Text, etc.

Third, put 'Open Link in New Tab' to top of context menu for Link.

How to browse

• Use context menus
  • Open Link in New Tab, to open tab and switch to it
  • Close Tab (item in context menus) to close current tab
  • Middle-click to open a sequence of tabs in background

Shortcut Keys

• Go to URL
  • Remove Ctrl+G (find next)
  • Remove F8 (focus address field) as this key is not convenient, especially on laptop keyboard without gaps between F keys
  • Add Ctrl+G to: Focus address field
• Switch tab
  • Remove F8, bind Alt+Q to switch tab, similar to Alt+Tab

Mouse Gestures

• Bind mouse gestures to use conveniently, especially New Tab
  • eg. Swipe up to open new tab.
