Workspaces are a way to organize your tabs where you can keep different tabs in different Workspaces, based on a topic or category. You might, for example, have a workspace for work, another for sports, and a third for travel.
To set up Workspace Rules:
Workspaces are an excellent way to divide tabs into groups to focus on one topic at a time. There are several ways to open a different workspace and one of the tabs in it, such as via the Tab Bar or Window Panel. But another quick way of switching to a specific tab in a different workspace is using Quick Commands.
To switch tabs using Quick Commands:
F2 / ⌘ E).
Copying links one by one to share or save them is a thing of the past in Vivaldi. Instead, you can copy all links you have open in a Workspace and Tab Stack with just a couple of clicks. In addition, you can manually select specific tabs and copy the links of those.
To copy multiple links at once:
Now, sharing your research on the trip you’re planning with your family, sending a bunch of memes to a friend, who needs cheering up, or something else is smoother and faster than ever before.
Workspaces allow you to divide tabs into independent sections. But what if you come across a link in one space that you’d like to open in another? You could open the link in the current Workspace and move the tab to a different one, but it’s faster to open it directly as a new tab in the Workspace you want to have the page in.
To open a link in a different Workspace:
With tabs being divided into multiple Workspaces, it’s easy to loose track of how many tabs you have open. Having tens, if not hundreds, of open tabs can use up a decent amount of memory, so it’s good to hibernate the Workspaces you’re not actively using.

Whether you prefer to use Keyboard Shortcuts, Mouse Gestures or Quick Commands, Vivaldi has got you covered. There are countless customizable shortcuts for commands in Vivaldi, including for Workspaces, that you can use to browse faster.
To create custom Keyboard Shortcuts for switching Workspaces:
To create custom Mouse Gestures for switching Workspaces:
+ New Gesture below the list of gestures.If you like to use Quick Commands, just type “Next Workspace” or “Previous Workspace” in Quick Commands menu and press Enter to switch Workspaces.
There are some unique ways you can use different Vivaldi features together to make the browser behave the way you want it. For example, with the help of Command Chains, Toolbar Editor and Custom Icons you can take Workspaces to the next level. Here’s how:
Step 1 – Create Command Chains for switching Workspaces.
Create a chain for every workspace. In each chain, you can also add other commands that will be executed at the same time. For example, add the command “Switch to theme” to make workspaces visually more different.
Step 2 – Add Command Chain buttons to a toolbar.
Step 3 – Add Custom Icons.
By default all Command Chain buttons looks the same, but you can add Custom Icons to make each button stand out.
For a more in depth description of this feature combination and final results, take a look at our blog post and video here.
Tab Stacks are a great way to group tabs by domain or topic, but Workspaces take it to another level. With Workspaces you’ll only see the tabs in the current Workspace, allowing you to focus on one thing at the time.
To create a new workspace:
From the Workspaces menu (or using Shortcuts) you can quickly switch between the Workspaces you’ve created.
