Description

Some website may have multiple scrollable columns And it says I can select a mark which is at the top-left corner of a scrollable area after pressing f,
But until now I haven't applied this characteristic successfully,
for example I totally have no idea how to choose the left column of choosing different dialoge at chagpt.com.
Maybe we should add a different and new way to choose page areas with like number 12345?
It may conflict in text-type jump mode, but i think it's feasible in normal mode.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the scrolling-column selection flow after pressing f on chatgpt.com, especially the left column in the dialog described. Read the existing selection behavior before proposing an alternative numbered-area interaction; done means users can reliably choose among multiple scrollable areas without making normal mode or text-type jump mode unusable.
