Found something interesting on a webpage that you want to save, but an image would convey the message better than text? With Vivaldi, you can take a screenshot of the web page and automatically create a new note with it.

To save a screen capture as a note:

1. Click on the «Capture page» button on the Status Bar.
2. Decide whether you want to capture a selection or the full page.
3. Select «Create Note with…» as the output.
4. If you chose to save just a section of the web page, select the area.
5. Click «Capture».

The captured screenshot will be attached to a new untitled note, which you can view and edit in the Notes Panel or Notes Manager.

Single Key Shortcuts are a great way to get things done quickly and efficiently, without needing both hands or complicated finger gymnastics on the keyboard to reach multiple keys simultaneously. For example, you can use Single Key Shortcuts to zoom in and out on web pages.

To enable Single Key Shortcuts, go to Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts.

To zoom in and out, press the following numbers either above the letters on the keyboard or on the number pad:

• 0 – zoom in by 10%
• 9 – zoom out by 10%
• 8 – double the zoom level
• 7 – halve the zoom level
• 6 – reset the zoom level

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.

Scrolling through your long lists of messages isn’t really an option if you receive a lot of mail. That’s when the search field with its filters comes to the rescue helping you find the message you’re looking for.

To search for a message in Vivaldi Mail:

1. Type something relevant to the message in the search field.
2. Use the available filters to narrow down your search.

The options include:

• Searching through all messages or specific accounts or folders.
• Specifying the date range.
• Looking for senders or recipients (From, To, CC).
• Searching by the email subject.
• Searching by something in the body of the message.
• Showing only messages that include attachments.
• Use the conjunction NOT to only find messages that do not match with the search keyword.
