Hinting

Hinting is Vimprobable's way of doing what you would use a mouse for in common browsers, e.g. clicking on links. Hinting mode is activated with the f (or F to open a link in a new window) key by default. This will highlight all relevant elements on a website. You can follow the hint by entering the number displayed next to the element or select a hint by pressing TAB or CTRL-TAB and fire it with return. To narrow the selection down first, enter the name of the element (e.g. the link text). If only one candidate element remains, the hint will be activated automatically.
