Add option for alphanumeric hints

This PR adds the option to use alphanumeric hints instead of numbers. I personally prefer keeping my fingers close to the home row when navigating and this allows you to do that.

I had to change the matching algorithm a bit to work for non-numeric hints as well, I hope it's still performant enough.

This also fixes a bug where hints would change their text when scrolling/zooming, which broke filtering. Options Example

@lucalabs-de do you want to publish your own version of key jump? Because KennethSuldqvist seems to be pretty busy contributing to private repos (probably work).

I have 2 issues:

  1. Hint generation is inconsistent. I expect to see the same hints when activating 'show hints' multiple times in the same place. Screenshot_20230608_221421 Screenshot_20230608_221422

  2. Sometimes the hints are repeated. Screenshot_20230608_221427
