Dive into the article using full-screen reader mode.

Reader View is an excellent feature to remove distractions on the website, but that still leaves room for other things on your screen to pull your attention away from the article you’re reading. To fully immerse yourself, in addition to toggling on the Reader View, you can switch to Fullscreen Mode. And to combine the two actions into one, in Vivaldi, you can create a Command Chain.

To create a new chain for enabling full-screen reader mode:

1. Go to Settings > Quick Commands > Command Chains.
2. Add a new Command Chain.
3. Add the following commands to the chain:
   • Command 1 – Toggle Reader View
   • Command 2 – Fullscreen Mode
4. Create a Keyboard Shortcut, Mouse Gestures and/or add a custom button to a toolbar for executing the chain.
   Straight out of the box, you can type the chain’s name in Quick Commands.

Trigger Command Chains from a toolbar button with a custom icon.

Command Chains can be triggered with Quick Commands, Keyboard Shortcuts, Mouse Gestures, toolbar buttons, and from menus. Command Chain toolbar buttons all look the same, though. If you have multiple chains on the browser’s toolbars, you should give them custom icons to make them easier to recognize.

To give a Command Chain button a custom icon:

1. Go to Settings > Themes > Editor > Icons.
2. Select the icon you want to update.
3. Drag the file to the preview box.
   Alternatively, click on the box and locate the file.

To add a Command Chain to a toolbar:

1. Go to the Vivaldi menu > View > Customize Toolbar.
   Alternatively, right-click on one of the buttons already on the toolbar and select “Customize Toolbar”.
2. From the drop-down menu, select “Command Chains”.
3. Drag the chain’s button to the toolbar of your choice.

Tip #346

Combining actions often used one after another into a single Command Chain can help you streamline your browsing. One of the many Command Chains you can create is searching for text you have copied to the clipboard in a new tab. That way you can skip opening a new tab, focusing on the address field, pasting your search term in it, and executing the search. It’s all done with the use of a single shortcut or click of a button.

To create the Command Chain:

1. Go to Settings > Quick Commands > Command Chains.
2. Click on “Add Command Chain” below the list of existing chains.
3. Give the new chain a name
4. Add the following commands:
   1. New Tab,
   2. Delay (with the parameter value, for example, 100),
   3. Focus Address Field,
   4. Paste and Go.
5. Go to Settings > Keyboard and/or Settings > Mouse, look for the new chain in the list of commands, and create a shortcut for it.In addition, you can open the Toolbar Editor and add the new chain as a button on one of the browser toolbars.
