Description
I seem to have noticed a bug where placing the capital letters in the set character hints option results in Vimium attempting to send the actual key bindings. This is solved by making the letter lower case again.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in Vimium with capital letters in the set character hints option, then trace the hint handling and keybinding dispatch. Done means capital hint characters select hints without causing Vimium to send the corresponding keybindings, while lowercase characters continue to work.
