While the day’s and week’s grid views in your Vivaldi Calendar are great for time-blocking, allowing you to visually organize your days and weeks, sometimes a linear list of the Agenda view is best to tackle those busy days. Just a simple chronological list of upcoming events and tasks that you can tackle one after the other.

To switch your calendar to Agenda view, look for the «Agenda» button on the calendar view menu in the top right corner of the page or simply press A on your keyboard (single-key shortcuts need to be enabled).

But there’s also a page on Vivaldi Social listing accounts that you might want to check out.

To tile tabs:

1. Have one of the tabs you want to tile open in the active tab.
2. Find the other tab from the Tab Bar and start dragging it towards the page.
3. Move the mouse to the side where you want the dragged tab to be in the tiled view — left, right, top or bottom.
4. Release the mouse button to create a tiled view.

You can add more tabs to the tiled view with the same method.
