Description

The problem is that the shortcut keys always change when I press f. There could be an option for the user where they could give css selectors and a key combination for some button they frequently use. For example on youtube I constantly use the Youtube button on the left to go to the homepage.

Or there could even be something like a new command where the user could define css selectors and the first that is on the document will be clicked. Something like this

map gy selectorClick "button[id=buttononyoutube],button[id=buttononreddit]"

I would be happy to implement this if it matches the design goals of this extension.

Research direction

Start by reviewing Vimium's existing f shortcut behavior and the proposed selector-based map syntax in the issue. Compare the configurable key option with the selectorClick command, then clarify the design direction and define completion around stable clickable-element keys or the selected selector command.
