Description

Unfortunately, a lot of applications capture clicks on items that aren't actually links or buttons. I'd love to see support for a per domain list of css selectors that can also be clicked via the "f" key functionality.

One such application that I've had issue with is clickup.com.

Research direction

Start with Vimium’s existing “f” key functionality and trace how clickable elements are identified. Determine how a per-domain CSS-selector list could be configured and exercised, using clickup.com as the reported case. Done means configured non-link or non-button elements can be targeted and clicked with “f” while existing behavior remains intact.
