Description

f works perfectly for normal inputs and buttons, but some programmers use divs with an onmouseup or onmousedown event. onclick is recognized, but if you could implement onmouseup and onmousedown as recognized inputs by the f command my use of vimium would be extensively smoother.

Research direction

Start by locating the f command's element-recognition logic and the existing handling for onclick. Check how div elements with onmousedown and onmouseup are represented in the browser, then verify that f recognizes those elements alongside normal inputs and buttons.
