Did you unintentionally move an email to the Trash folder or did you change your mind about marking a message read? In Vivaldi Mail, you’ll find a menu listing your latest actions, so you can undo the ones you need.

To undo an action:

1. Click the «Undo the Latest Mail Actions» button on the Mail toolbar.
2. Select which message you want to restore to its previous state.

You know you have a lot of open tabs in Vivaldi on iOS, when instead of a number on the Tab Switcher button you see :D. To keep the number of open tabs manageable, clear the unused ones regularly.

To close all inactive tabs:

1. Open the Tab Switcher.
2. Find and open the Inactive Tabs folder above all your active tabs.
3. Tap on «Close All Inactive» at the bottom of the page.

By default, a tab will be set to inactive if you haven’t used it in the last 21 days, but you can select the interval for when a tab should be moved to Inactive from Settings > Tabs > Inactive Tabs.

You can find Keyboard Shortcuts for numerous actions in your Vivaldi browser and with Command Chains you can make many more. For example, you can create a chain for moving the active tab to a different Workspace and bind it to a Keyboard Shortcut and Mouse Gesture of your choice. You can also type the chain’s name in Quick Commands and even add a custom button on one of the toolbars to execute the chain on click.

To create a command chain for moving the active tab to a different workspace:

1. Go to Settings > Quick Commands > Command Chains.
2. Click on «Add Command Chain».
3. Give the new chain a name.
4. Enter the following commands.
   Use the «Add Command» button in the top right corner of the first command to add the next one.
   • Focus Address Field
   • Delay (100)
   • Copy
   • Delay (1000)
   • Close Tab
   • Switch to Workspace #
   • New Tab
   • Delay (100)
   • Paste and Go
5. Go to Settings > Keyboard > Workspaces and/or Settings > Mouse > New Gesture and find the chain you created.
6. Give the new chain a shortcut.
7. Go to a page you want to move and use the shortcut to test your new Command Chain.
8. Create the chain for each Workspace you have.

In Tip #196, we showed you how to open a link or a search you entered in the Address Field in a new tab. But using a slightly different Keyboard Shortcut, you can also open it in a new browser window.

1. Enter a website URL or a search term in the Address Field.
2. Press Ctrl + Shift + Enter / ⌘ ⇧ Enter on your keyboard.

Though web devs generally do a good job adopting their websites for mobile phones, occasionally you may still want to get the full desktop view of the website despite the small screen.

To switch to a desktop version of a page:

1. When you have the webpage open in a tab, open the Vivaldi menu.
2. Select «Request desktop site».

To change the view globally on all sites:

1. Go to Settings > Content settings > Default View.
2. Select «Desktop».
3. Click «Done».

If you’re using Vivaldi Calendar to manage your events and tasks you may have noticed that past events and completed tasks have their colors a bit faded. This lets you easily see what’s done and what’s still ahead.

Past event fading is enabled by default, but you can review and update the setting to match your preference in Settings > Calendar > Calendar Display.

It’s easy to end up with more open tabs than you can keep track of. That’s why, when you type a link in the Address Field, Vivaldi will point out that you already have the same URL open in another tab, allowing you to switch to that tab instead of opening a duplicate tab.

To switch to an open tab:

1. Enter the link in the Address Field.
2. Instead of just pressing «Enter», use an arrow key to select the «Switch to this tab» suggestion in the Address Field Drop-Down Menu and then press Enter. Alternatively, click on the suggestion.

Vivaldi Mail’s Quick Reply is perfect for those fast, short replies, and feels like using an instant messenger. By removing the need to switch screens to open the composer window, this feature allows you to respond to emails more quickly.

To send a quick reply:

1. Open the email message you want to reply to.
2. Focus on the text field at the bottom of the message pane.
3. Type your message.
4. Click «Send».

When you feel like the browser is getting a little sluggish, it’s likely that one or more of the tabs is using a lot of resources. In that case, it might be a good idea to close or at least hibernate the tab(s). To find the resource hogs, simply hover over a tab on the Tab Bar to view their memory usage.

If you don’t see Tab Thumbnails on hover, go to Settings > Tabs > Tab Display > Tab Options and make sure «Show Popup Thumbnails» has been enabled.
