Yet Another Hints Extension Extension

Yet Another Hints Extension allows you to click elements without using your mouse. Pressing Ctrl+m generates hints for each clickable element in the current view. Each hint has a character code. When you type a code, a hint gets highlighted, and you can \"click\" the corresponding element by pressing the return key. You can also add ctrl, shift, alt and meta modifiers when you press return to simulate ctrl+click and so on.

You can customize the keybinding and hint characters in the extension's options page.

Pat MySecret (ID: 0000000f565a0b8a) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 12/05/2021 Not very well illustrated, and the tip markers seem very random vs predictable. Not sure how this extension helps people.

Mike Bilel (ID: 000000de7b231439) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 02/10/2019 Does not work with numpad.. Why??? Otherwise great extension.

Dejon Watson (ID: 000000b7ded6f0fa) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/02/2014 It does it job. Just wish there was more features to it such as auto enable YAHE when on a specific site, and be able to hit multiple keys for when doing surveys that have bubbles.
