Description

Is there a feature where we can set focus to certain section/part of the page currently visible in the view-port. Something similar to link selection , when hit f key to highlight all links on the page. Can we've a hotkey to focus on certain section, part,

, of the visible page.

Currently, I've to switch to mouse to set focus to desired part of the page, which is a pain.

Thanks

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing Vimium's existing link-selection command and keyboard handling, then determine how the requested hotkey should identify and focus sections of the visible page. Done requires an agreed interaction and tests covering the selected page elements.
