Keep 'F' navigation feature active

Open imdavidoo opened this issue 3 years ago • 7 comments

When you have to click very often, when navigating some pages, or for example with dropdown boxes, you have to hit 'f' every time.

'f' -> 'Select drop down to open it' 'f' -> 'Choose option' 'f' -> 'Click on one of the options' 'f' -> 'Click something else'

Is there any way to keep the 'f' feature active, so that when you have to do multiple clicks in a row to navigate you don't constantly have to keep hitting 'f' inbetween every click?

There is the option 'alt' + 'f', then the 'f' feature stays active after you select an option, but it opens in a new tab. So basically the 'alt' + 'f' feature, but then without opening the links in a new tab.

This would be awesome; especially if the LinkHints stay set after each click (e.g. don't change to different letters). My main use case for this is selecting a series of check boxes.

+1 for always-active feature. When using Vimium for browse-by-voice, I need to activate it for every action.

Solution: I bound 'f' to the pop sound so that it is easy and quick to repeatedly activate vimium.

What do you mean?

See comment above - I'm using voice control when I'm using vimium. I use Talon and if I make a "pop" sound (very low effort) into the mic, that activates Vimium.
