<![CDATA[[Opera Mini]Long press context menu with options to organize speed dials]]>Dear Opera Mini Development Team,

I would like to suggest an enhancement to the Speed Dial feature to improve the organization and management of shortcuts, especially for users with a large number of Speed Dials.

Currently, organizing Speed Dials relies heavily on drag-and-drop, which can be cumbersome and inefficient, particularly because the screen does not automatically scroll when dragging shortcuts beyond the visible area. This makes precise placement difficult and time-consuming.

To address this, I propose implementing a long-press context menu on Speed Dial shortcuts that offers the following options:

  • Create New Shortcut: Quickly add a new shortcut directly from the menu.
  • Create New Group: Allow users to create a folder/group to better categorize shortcuts.
  • Add to Existing Group: Move the selected shortcut into an existing group/folder.
  • Move to Top: Instantly move the shortcut to the top of the Speed Dial list.
  • Move to Bottom: Instantly move the shortcut to the bottom of the Speed Dial list.
  • Rename Shortcut: Edit the name of the shortcut for better clarity.
  • Edit Shortcut URL: Modify the URL associated with the shortcut.
  • Remove Shortcut: Delete the shortcut from Speed Dial.
  • Duplicate Shortcut: Create a copy of the shortcut for easy reuse.
  • Share Shortcut: Share the shortcut link via other apps or platforms.
  • Sort Group: Within groups, allow sorting options such as alphabetical, most visited, or custom order.
  • Expand/Collapse Group: Allow groups to be collapsed or expanded to save screen space.
  • Pin Shortcut/Group: Pin important shortcuts or groups to keep them always visible at the top.
  • Import Shortcut(s): Allow users to import shortcuts from external files or other devices.
  • Import Shortcut Group(s): Allow importing entire groups/folders of shortcuts.
  • Export Shortcut(s): Enable exporting individual shortcuts for backup or sharing.
  • Export Shortcut Group(s): Enable exporting entire groups/folders for backup or sharing.

Additionally, enabling automatic scrolling during drag-and-drop would greatly enhance the user experience by allowing easier repositioning of shortcuts anywhere on the Speed Dial screen.

These improvements would provide users with a more intuitive and efficient way to manage their Speed Dials, making Opera Mini even more user-friendly and powerful.

Thank you for considering this suggestion. I look forward to seeing how Opera Mini continues to evolve.

Best regards,
Anon

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!
