f use characters instead of numbers to index links

[ghost]

In vimb, when I press f to show links, it indexes links with numbers. To go to a link, I have to move my fingers from the home row to the numbers row, which is very inconvenient ( not to mention that the numbers are hard to read).

Is there any way for f to index links using characters instead, like this?

@DorisCarson To change the labels for the hints you can set the characters to use via :set hint-keys=asdfhjkl. But if you use this, can't filter down the hinted elements by their text content, at least not for those home row chars. If you use chars as hint label it could be worth to also enable :hset int-keys-same-length=on to ensure all the labels use the same word length. To change the size of the hints you could add some css to the .config/vimb/styles.css file like this to overrule the default styling

span[vimbhint^='label'] {
    font-size: 18px !important;
}

You can see an example for possible changes at https://fanglingsu.github.io/vimb/howto.html#dark-theme.
