Follow-up Suggestion: Faster, Multi-Select Speed Dial Editing
Dear Opera Mini Development Team,
Thank you for reviewing my previous suggestion on Speed Dial enhancements. After further testing, I've realized a long-press context menu would still feel too slow for frequent edits, especially with drag-and-drop limitations like missing auto-scroll. Instead, I propose a dedicated "Edit Mode” for lightning-fast, multi-select management—think of it like editing contacts or photos in other apps.
Core Feature: Tap-to-Edit Mode
Tap the "Edit" button (pencil icon at the bottom, next to "Add New Shortcut") to enter Edit Mode—no extra top panel needed. Multi-select shortcuts: Tap one or more (or tap-drag to select ranges/groups). Visual cues like checkboxes or highlights make it intuitive. Tap "Next" (or a bottom toolbar) to open a streamlined context menu with bulk actions: Move to top/bottom/position. Rename (bulk: apply same name pattern or sequential numbering). Edit URLs (bulk: replace domain, add prefixes). Delete/Duplicate/Share (all selected at once). Add to/create groups (see below). "Exit Edit Mode" with a "Done" button, preserving your changes instantly. Toggle between "list view" (compact, searchable rows) and "tree view" (nested folders, expandable like file explorers) for better organization.This fixes drag-and-drop pain points (add auto-scroll in Edit Mode too) and scales for users with 50+ shortcuts.
Smart Grouping & Auto-Organization
"Auto-categorize all shortcuts": One-tap "Arrange Automatically" uses a built-in database or user-defined rules to sort into categories/subcategories (e.g., News, Shopping, Social). Base it on URL keywords, domains, or page titles. "User overrides": Edit an "Override List" to customize rules, merge categories, or exclude sites. "Refinement tools": Post-auto-sort, jump back to Edit Mode for manual tweaks, sorting (alpha, most visited, custom), or pinning. "Tie-in with Bookmarks/History": Import/export Speed Dials as bookmark folders; suggest additions from browsing history or frequent tabs.Duplicate & Similarity Detection
"Find Duplicates": Scan for exact matches or wildcard variants (e.g., example.com vs. www.example.com vs. sub.example.com). Bulk merge/delete. "Find Similar": AI-powered detection of related sites by domain similarity, content type (e.g., cluster news sites), or favicon/keyword matching. Suggest grouping or removal.Additional Enhancements for Power Users
"Search/Filter Bar": In Edit Mode, search shortcuts by name/URL/keyword; filter by group, pinned status, or visit frequency. "Bulk Import/Export": Drag-and-drop files (JSON/CSV) for shortcuts/groups; sync across devices via Opera account. "Custom Group Themes": Assign colors/icons to groups for visual organization (e.g., red for work, blue for entertainment). "Undo Stack": 10-step undo for accidental changes, with a "History" button to revert.These changes would transform Speed Dial into a pro-level manager—efficient for quick tweaks, powerful for heavy users—while keeping the default view simple and fast.
Thank you for iterating on user feedback!
