change keyboard url selection from numbers to letters

[Arthur Zalevsky]

Url selection from keyboard by '.' marks every url with number. That's not the most efficient way. Marking with letters will speedup browsing and will make it's more vim-like. I think that most people who use keyboard for browsing looking for vim or emacs hotkey style.

Example of this approach is Vimium - Chromium extension.

[Cris Dywan (kalikiana)]

The main reason is that letters are used for access keys. '.' will show both, access keys and numbered links.

I would love to see it possible to search only in links and/or activate the link in the current search result via a hotkey (perhaps enter or something else).
