Description

This is useful to paginate aka "next"/"back" buttons, un-toggle aka like/unlike or star/unstar, etc.

I'm not sure if you guys are tracking elements that have been clicked over time. If so, this could be fairly straightforward, if not then 🤷‍♂️

Thoughts?

Research direction

Start by investigating whether Vimium already tracks elements that have been clicked over time, since the issue identifies this as an open implementation question. Define how the period key should find and activate the last clicked element, including pagination and toggle use cases, then verify the behavior in the browser.
