You can now add a trigger to focus things instead of click them too, which helps with some hover based menus.

I'm a vimium user and I wasn't aware of this, how useful! I checked the docs and I can't find it, do you know what it's called or how to do it please?

If you go to Vimium options and enter this line into the custom key mappings it should work:

    map c LinkHints.activateMode action=hover

You can change c to whatever key you want to trigger it. It works perhaps less often than I was hoping for, a lot of menus still won't work, presumably because they use JS or something else to trigger the menu.
