Description
When you are selecting links using the f command, the link hints sometimes hides a bit much of the link text. This is especially problematic if you have activated the option Use the link's name and characters for link-hint filtering.
It would be great if it at that point would be possible to hide the hint temporarily. https://github.com/brookhong/Surfingkeys has this feature: While pressing space the hints are hidden.
