It's strange that you have to press enter too after selecting a link to go there. The most frequent task of browsing is clicking on links, so it should be only f + hint, without any additional keys.
- jedimastert 7y agoI'd say mouse-ing over a link is a different action than clicking it. Say you want to read the alt test, or see where the link goes.
- uryga 7y agomaybe there should be two keybindings for mousing-over and clicking, i'd say hovering is relatively rare in comparison
- jedimastert 7y agoMaybe? I don't know if there's defined behaviour JS wise for a "click" event not following a "mouseover" though.
- blotter_paper 7y agoThere is, you can trigger click events from JavaScript without a mouse going over the element: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLElement/click https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLElement...
- dmortin 7y agoThere should be a different key for that then. The click action is the most important, so it should have its own dedicated key.
- cuchoi 7y agoThat's how Vimium works; f + letter clicks the link.
- TJTorola 7y agoI definitely appreciate the confirmation step when browsing around sensitive UIs like my company's AWS dashboard.
- dmortin 7y agoSensitive operations should require confirmation on AWS, because you can click accidentally manually too.
- alexherbo2 7y agoTo mitigate mistyping, the hint mode refuses to proceed invalid sequences too.
