How to assign a shortcut to launch Vivaldi in Standalone Mode on macOS

The following allows macOS users to run two different Vivaldi's alongside each other (e.g. stable and snapshot), with their prefences/settings stored seperately. This is also handy if you want to do an initial test of a snapshot in a self contained manor, without touching your main prefences/settings.

It works by causing launch Vivaldi in such a way that it stores its prefences/settings in a directory next it (called "Vivaldi Data"), rather than using the default prefences/settings directory ("~/Library/Application Support/Vivaldi").

To setup

  • Open the Automator.app (part of macOS) and create a new "Service"
  • Change "Service receives" to: "files or folders" in "Finder"
  • Drag "Get Selected Finder Items" (found under "Files & Folders") into the actions area
  • Drag "Run Shell Script" (found under "Utilities") into the actions area below "Get Selected Finder Items" and set "Pass input" to "as arguments"

A script for those who "Forgot to make a SlackBuild". Following a manual install (e.g. `make install`), use this script to make a Slackware package.
