Add option for alphanumeric hints #67

Open lucalabs-de opened 2 years ago

lucalabs-de commented 2 years ago

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

@KennethSundqvist i would really love to see this tested and merged if you have the time

@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).

Ok, i just did it. @lucalabs-de your fork is available on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/keyjump-alphanumeric/ now

I have 2 issues:

Hint generation is inconsistent. I expect to see the same hints when activating 'show hints' multiple times in the same place.
Sometimes the hints are repeated.
