if you like vim like keybindings courtesy of tridactyl

bind V hint -W ! mpv to show a letter or letters adjacent to all links and open the one chosen in mpv. Normally most pages have few enough links visible that hints are either 1 or 2 characters. This means instead of picking up the mouse you can hit 3 keys.



You can get most pages down to 1 character if you craft your own custom selector, e.g. https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/blob/dc8919e7e65d5dfa...

For the record we don't recommend piping straight to `!` as a malicious (and fairly Tridactyl specific) site could use it to execute whatever it wanted. We have a default bind for open in mpv that sanitises things - https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/blob/dc8919e7e65d5dfa... using https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/blob/dc8919e7e65d5dfa...


Thanks. A question occurs to me shouldn't such sanitation be its own step in order to be generalized to anything that the user wants to run?
