Follow hint letters should alternate between left- and right-hand letters

The idea is from https://github.com/luakit/luakit/issues/595

We can use a predefined dictionary for such hinting pattern

You may change the character order of characters used by LinkHints:

LinkHints has use a way to shuffle the order of hints, and usually it's enough to make near hints easy to distinguish

Oops, I've fixed the broken URL.

I tried using an alternating sequence of characters: dkfjsleiwocn, however it still generates combinations like ED which only utilize my left middle finger to type.

It's easy to distinguish visually but not perfect to type out ergonomically.

BTW, can we configure the hint characters shown as lowercase alphabets?

I don't like a static list. But I may add a way of showing "interleaved" characters like:

• in every hint name, the 1st, 3rd, (and even 5th ...) characters are selected from the 1st list
• while the 2nd, 4th, (and even 6th ...) characters are selected from the 2nd list

As for lower-case names, you may use CSS to do so:

• add .LH { text-transform:lowercase; } into Custom CSS for Vimium C UI

Sounds great! The rule itself can also be alternating, so that half of the hints will choose odd characters from 1st list and even characters from 2nd list, while the other half choose odd from 2nd list and even from 1st list.
