Description
Problem: There are linkhints that are redundant (e.g., the fullscreen button in the bottom right of the player controls with five linkhints) and inaccessible due to being on top of one another (e.g., the play button, the entirety of the right side of the nav with some of them having three linkhints)
proposal: If the linkhints overlap, there is a pretty good chance they do the same thing. Can we get an option to detect overlap and flatten linkhints to a single one?
Another sensible thing to consider is always making sure the first character is visible.

Research direction
Start by locating the linkhint rendering and positioning entry points, then reproduce the overlapping hints described for player controls and the navigation. Define how the option detects overlap and which single hint remains, while checking that the first character stays visible. Done means overlapping hints are flattened when enabled and the affected controls remain usable.
