mapKey and link hinting

[Opisek]

I use a Dvorak keyboard layout and was happy to see that I can use mapKey or the ignore keyboard layout setting to use Vimum-C with all my muscle memory.

Unfortunately, one thing still troubles me: Link hinting displays the letters after mapKey, not before. For example, on my layout, the letter o maps to the QWERTY letter s. So if a link hint tells me to press the letter o, it will apply mapKey to it and end up pressing s.

Furthermore, when I enable "Use the link's name and characters for link-hint filtering" and try typing the link name using my layout, for example "abc", it will still be remapped using mapKey to "ani" in my case.

Could a setting for disabling mapKey for link hinting be added?
Another option (for me) would be to have the option to ignore keyboard layout always, except for link hinting.

Read this wiki page https://github.com/gdh1995/vimium-c/wiki/Use-in-another-keyboard-layout

i - insert mode
l - link hints
f - find mode
v - visual mode
m - marks
o - omnibar

this is the format mapkey newkey:mode
Eg: mapkey <n:v> , this will map n to j

Use mapkey in your preferred mode

Yes per-mode key will solve this. You may try mapKey <c:n> i to make it not affect LinkHints or FindMode.

And, "per-mode" mapKey rules will take precedence over plain ones.

Thanks, that's great! Somehow I missed it reading the wiki.
