Description
I use the Dvorak keyboard layout, and I really like Vimium's Ignore Keyboard Layout feature. However, for link-hint filtering, it ignores my Dvorak keyboard layout and uses Qwerty instead. I'm not sure if this is the intended behavior, but it's kind of hard for me to search links with Qwerty when I'm more comfortable with Dvorak.

Research direction
Start by tracing how the Ignore Keyboard Layout setting is applied during link-hint filtering, then reproduce the behavior with a Dvorak layout and compare it with Qwerty input. Done means link-hint filtering accepts the user's configured keyboard layout instead of always using Qwerty.
