Have a bad touchpad? Trouble using a mouse? Love keyboard shortcuts?
Link Hints is a browser extension that complements the built-in keyboard shortcuts with ones for clicking.
Press Alt+J (Ctrl+J on macOS). This makes little yellow boxes with letters, called hints, appear next to links (and other clickable things). Type the letters to click the link. Alternatively, hold Shift and type a bit of the link text.
The keyboard shortcuts and hints are fully customizable.
Alt+J: Click links, buttons, etc.
Alt+K: Open link in new tab.
Alt+L: Open link in new tab and switch to it.
Alt+Shift+J: Click many things.
Alt+Shift+K: Open many links.
Alt+Shift+L: Select element.

- (2023-07-18) John Beisley: I like to drive user interfaces as much from keyboard as possible. I found that Vimium did that, but also (for me) tried to do far more than I wanted and actually started getting in the way. Link Hints however does *exactly* the right things, within the capabilities of Chrome extensions. I wish I'd found this long ago. Kudos to the developer(s)!
- (2023-02-28) ExDCode Dmitry: I didn't see it during the initial search in the Chrome store, but then found it through google and I love it! Doesn't work if you switch to another language, I've noticed, but I like it more than VIM-related extension. Writing this review only to get it more popular to show up in the store easier, because I was installing it on my second device now.

- (2022-10-02) Space: I was looking for an extension to open Google search results solely using keyboard. Vim-related extensions were the only ones I found. But I didn't want unnecessary shortcuts because I was only looking for opening links, clicking buttons and elements using keyboards. This extension only had 11 reviews and I thought this won't be a good extension. But it turns out its so much powerful and more useful to me than Vim-ish extension. Thank you for developing this extension! :)
- (2022-07-15) Artur Camargo: Uma das melhores que usei até hoje. Fácil, intuitiva, aumenta sobremaneira a produtividade. Está de parabéns o desenvolvedor.
- (2022-03-13) Eric Luo: Love it!
- (2022-01-18) Szczepan Czaicki: Great extension. Toghether with Shortkeys (Custom Keyboard Shortcuts) it allowed me to resign from Vimium with much better experience
- (2021-08-28) Joe Wasserman: Link Hints is a great, lightweight chrome extension that lets you navigate links and other clickable things (form fields, radio buttons, etc.) with the keyboard. Not as fully-featured as vimium, but also lower learning curve for those not already familiar with vim. I love it and have started recommending it to others every chance I get.

- (2021-01-12) Kevin Zhang: I was a Vimium user for years. The first impression of Link Hints was yet another copy-cat of Vimium. However, when I read the introduction and try it for a few minutes, I removed Vimium from my browser extension list. Link Hints is light weight yet powerful tool. It focus only the most common features (click links) and make it to the T. Good job man!
- (2021-01-11) diego caples: I am so much more productive with this. It works so well. Kudos to the dev!
- (2020-11-01) Shawn Green: I almost didn't bother with Link Hints as it didn't have even ONE review on it yet. But don't judge books by their covers, download it and thank me later.
