That's how Vimium works; f + letter clicks the link.

I'd say mouse-ing over a link is a different action than clicking it. Say you want to read the alt test, or see where the link goes.

maybe there should be two keybindings for mousing-over and clicking, i'd say hovering is relatively rare in comparison

Maybe? I don't know if there's defined behaviour JS wise for a "click" event not following a "mouseover" though.

There is, you can trigger click events from JavaScript without a mouse going over the element: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLElement...

There should be a different key for that then. The click action is the most important, so it should have its own dedicated key.

I definitely appreciate the confirmation step when browsing around sensitive UIs like my company's AWS dashboard.

To mitigate mistyping, the hint mode refuses to proceed invalid sequences too.

Sensitive operations should require confirmation on AWS, because you can click accidentally manually too.
