Use Tab Tiling in Vivaldi to create a split screen view of your Tabs.

Tiling Tabs

To tile two or more tabs:

  1. Select the tabs by holding down the Ctrl/ or Shift key and clicking on the tabs on the Tab Bar or Window Panel.
  2. Tile the tabs by:
    • Right-clicking on one of the selected tabs and select Tile # Tabs,
    • Clicking on the Page Tiling button on the Status Bar and selecting the tiling layout,
    • Typing “Tile Vertically/Horizontally/to Grid” in Quick Commands,
    • Using a Keyboard Shortcut,
    • Creating a Mouse Gesture for the action.

To tile the active tab with the previous tab, you can simply click on the Page Tiling button on the Status Bar and select the tiling layout without needing to select the tabs on the Tab Bar first.

There’s no limit to how many tabs you can tile at once, but from a certain point onwards (depends on your screen size), seeing the page content can become difficult.

  • Typing “Untile Tabs” in Quick Commands;
  • Using a Keyboard Shortcut;
  • Creating a Mouse Gesture for the action.
