Tridactyl: Vimperator "hintfiltermode" for uppercase letters.

[WloHu]

Feature request.

• Brief description of the problem:

I can't figure out if and how to:

• use letters for hinting,
• with filtering (a.k.a. "vimperator" mode),
• make hints react on uppercase letters only (I don't case about hint display case),
• so that I can use alphanumeric chars for filtering and uppercase alpha for hint triggering.

Reason: I come from VimFx where it was possible and I really liked that hint selection flow.

• Steps to reproduce:
  N/A

• Tridactyl version (:version):
  1.16.2pre2999-95db0a8

• Firefox version (Top right menu > Help > About Firefox):
  68.0.1 (64-bit)

• URL of the website the bug happens on:
  N/A

• Config (in a new tab, run :viewconfig, copy the url and paste it somewhere like gist.github.com):
  Doesn't matter.

• Contents of ~/.tridactylrc or ~/.config/tridactyl/tridactylrc (if they exist):

set hintfiltermode vimperator-reflow
set hintnames short
set hintuppercase true
set hintchars FDSERWGCVXZT

• Operating system: Doesn't matter.
  

  * Result of running :! echo $PATH, or ! echo %PATH% on Windows, in Tridactyl:

* Unix-like only: result of running printf '%c\0\0\0{"cmd": "run", "command": "echo $PATH"}' 39 | ~/.local/share/tridactyl/native_main.py in a terminal:

Hmm, I'm sure this worked at some point. Someone with a French keyboard needed to press shift to access number keys IIRC. It's possible we broke it when we fixed that.

Well in my case I can't get the letters as hints. I only get numbers.

[bovine3dom]

Are you sure you don't have set hintnames numeric?

[WloHu]

It turned out that I had set hintnames numeric in config at the bottom of file in section I've copied. Sorry for the confusion.

However I still can't use vimperator-reflow filtering with uppercase hint characters. Filtering works but hints aren't triggered when I use uppercase letters e.g. <S-f>.
