Feature: follow multiple hints in sequence

Open erjoalgo opened this issue 9 months ago • 0 comments

I'm not sure if this feature has been requested before, but it would be very helpful to have. Sometimes when browsing the web, there is a need to click multiple buttons in sequence, and it would be great to avoid having to invoke the LinkHints.activateMode command every time. I'd like to suggest a command to enter a mode in which LinkHints.activateMode is invoked automatically whenever the current tab is updated.

The mode can be exited with something like the Esc key.

Additionally, scrolling will be allowed: if a scrolling command is entered, the link hints are deactivated, the scrolling is performed, and then the link hints are activated again automatically. Perhaps there can be a configurable waiting period of a second or two before hints are reactivated after scrolling. Also, hints would need to exclude keys that can be used to invoke scrolling commands to avoid conflicts.

This would be a great feature to have and will save time while making it more convenient to browse ceertain webpages that involve clicking a lot of buttons in sequence.
