Description
For forms with lots of checkboxes, it's cumbersome to have keep pressing f before the key for each one. Some forms span many small pages; for those, it's also cumbersome to have to press f before the key for the button to advance to the next page (though ]] often helps).
It would be useful to have a "follow mode" feature. You'd press a key such as Ctrl+Shift+F that would turn follow mode on and keep it on until you press escape to turn it off.

Research direction
Start by tracing how Vimium currently handles the f key, link hints, form controls, and Escape. Define how Ctrl+Shift+F enters the mode, how follow mode advances across controls and pages, and how Escape exits it; done means the behavior works consistently for the described checkbox and multi-page forms.
