Description

I would appreciate if there was a way to repeat the last button press done via f, such as the @@ keybind that lets you repeat the most recent macro in Neovim.

Research direction

The issue names Vimium's f button-press action and the desired @@ repeat behavior, but no files or tests. Start by locating the key handling for f and the existing macro or repeat-keybind logic. Done means a repeat binding can invoke the most recent button press consistently.
