Feature Request: Link-Hint and Normal Hints #3845

Is it possible to find normal hints with 'f' and be able to find link-hints with another key? both are useful in context. Link hints are particularly useful when you're looking through a familiarly formatted webpage

I find myself switching from hints to link-hints way too often than I should as well. It would be nice if one could toggle two modes on the page without going to the dedicated options page. Or have two separate LinkHints.activate LinkHints.activateHint like OP has suggested

Firefox gets close natively with the apostrophe key, but still requires you to press the enter key. The vimium interpretation of concept is better because it automatically follows a filtered hint as soon as your query is non-ambiguous.
