Description
Example:
I'm on youtube and hit f to "click" on the start/stop button. I have to hit "SE" so I do.
But then I scroll down by a little bit and hit f again to unpause the video, and now it's
showing a different key combination (i.e. "AF").
This is cumbersome. If vimium could simply remember the last link (or whatever else)
that was clicked and there was a shortcut for it (for example the dot key "."), it would
make repeat "clicking" easier and on top of that it would also work when you have
scrolled down to the comment area and the link/button isn't visible anymore.

Research direction
The issue mentions Vimium's link-hint flow (f, SE/AF) and proposes a . shortcut, but names no files or tests. Start by tracing the existing link-hint click handling and keyboard-command dispatch; done should be a shortcut that repeats the last clicked link or button even after scrolling it out of view.
