Description

I have changed my hint letters to 0123456789 and are now trying to activate the links using the numpad, but nothing happens. It works fine when using the other numeric keys.

Is this by design or a bug?

Research direction

Reproduce the reported behavior in Vimium using hint letters 0123456789, comparing numpad keys with the regular number row in Chrome. Trace the existing link-activation path from that keyboard input; done means numpad input activates links consistently with the other numeric keys.
