Description
Currently, all the link hints are capitalized, despite f or F. It is not possible to tell if I type a hint, the link will be opened in new tab or the current tab. It makes more sense to have the link hint to match the case of the command, that use lower case link hints for command f, and use capitalized ones for command F.

Research direction
Start by tracing Vimium’s link-hint generation and the command handlers for lowercase f and uppercase F. Verify how hint case is displayed and interpreted, then test both commands to confirm that lowercase hints open the current tab and capitalized hints open a new tab.
