Description
Hi everybody!
Using / to find something is cool, and would be cooler if we can start focusing elements from that point, enabling the user to select the next or previous element with a simple tab.
Using f to click on elements after search could be a way, although sometimes elements are far from the element we associate with an action. Moreover, some UIs are cluttered with clickable elements which results in a bazillion of links one in top of another which makes difficult the selection.
BTW, thanks for this amazing extension 👍

Research direction
Start by tracing Vimium's existing / find command and its focus and selection behavior. Clarify how keyboard navigation should work after a search, including cluttered pages and the proposed f alternative; done means the interaction is agreed and covered by tests.
