Edit Tab Stacks directly from the Tabs bar in Vivaldi on Android.

To reorder tabs in the stack, rename the stack, and more, you’re probably opening the Tab Switcher, looking for the stack, and opening the stack view in the Tab Switcher. But there’s a shortcut to get to the Tab Stack view directly from the Tab Bar.

To open the Tab Stack for edits:

  1. Long press on the Tab Stack on the Tab Bar.
  2. Select “Edit Tab Stack”.

Give tabs custom names and never lose sight of them again.

Whether the tab has an uninformative title, you have too many tabs with identical names or just wish to have more fun tab titles – whatever the reason, renaming tabs helps you keep tabs in your Vivaldi browser organized and easy to find.

To rename a tab:

  1. Right-click on the tab on the Tab Bar or in the Windows Panel and select Rename from the context menu.
    Alternatively, to rename the active tab, type “Rename Tab” in Quick Commands, or create a Keyboard Shortcut or Mouse Gesture for the action.
  2. Enter the new title.
  3. Press Enter or click somewhere else in the browser.

PS! It also works with Tab Stacks (see Tip #17).

Merge multiple Tab Stacks into one by dragging one stack over the other.

Grouping tabs into Tab Stacks is an excellent way to keep your tabs well-organized. If you want to turn multiple stacks into one, you can do that using drag-and-drop on the Tab Bar or Windows Panel.

To merge Tab Stacks:

  1. Click on and start dragging one of the stacks towards the other.
  2. When the bottom tab stack changes color, release your mouse button to “drop” one stack onto the other.

If drag-and-drop doesn’t seem to work, go to Settings > Tabs > Tab Features > Tab Stack Options and make sure “Allow Stacking by Drag and Drop” is enabled.

Switch Tabs and Tab Stacks using Keyboard Shortcuts.

If you’re a fan of using Keyboard Shortcuts, we have good news for you. Did you know that you can switch between the first few Tabs or Tab Stacks you have open with simple shortcuts?

Use the shortcuts Ctrl + 1, Ctrl + 2, all the way to Ctrl + 8 to switch to the tab or stack corresponding to its position on the Tab Bar. Using Ctrl + 9 will take you to the last open tab or stack. (On macOS, replace the Control key with Command.)

If these shortcuts don’t work for you, you can always assign your own in Settings > Keyboard > Tab and look for “Switch to Tab #”.
