Have a bad touchpad? Trouble using a mouse? Love keyboard shortcuts?

Link Hints is a browser extension that complements the built-in keyboard shortcuts with ones for clicking.

The keyboard shortcuts and hints are fully customizable.

Alt+J: Click links, buttons, etc.
Alt+K: Open link in new tab.
Alt+L: Open link in new tab and switch to it.

Alt+Shift+J: Click many things.
Alt+Shift+K: Open many links.
Alt+Shift+L: Select element.

Great extension. Toghether with Shortkeys (Custom Keyboard Shortcuts) it allowed me to resign from Vimium with much better experience

Link Hints is a great, lightweight chrome extension that lets you navigate links and other clickable things (form fields, radio buttons, etc.) with the keyboard. Not as fully-featured as vimium, but also lower learning curve for those not already familiar with vim. I love it and have started recommending it to others every chance I get.

I was a Vimium user for years. The first impression of Link Hints was yet another copy-cat of Vimium. However, when I read the introduction and try it for a few minutes, I removed Vimium from my browser extension list. Link Hints is light weight yet powerful tool. It focus only the most common features (click links) and make it to the T. Good job man!
