Added

• Vimium-style hint actions in non-editor views — hint mode now supports multiple actions via a key-tree dispatch when a non-editor view (graph, PDF, canvas, etc.) is focused. f activates (click/focus), F opens in a new pane, yf yanks the target's URL or text to clipboard, df closes the target tab or pane. Count prefix works: 3f activates three targets sequentially. In editor context, <leader><leader>h (unchanged) triggers hints with Ctrl/Cmd modifier during label selection upgrading to open-in-new-pane.
  • src/ui/hint-mode.ts: refactored into action-dispatch architecture with HintTarget type classification (link/pane/tab/button/input/generic), four action functions (hintActivate/hintOpenNew/hintYank/hintClose), createHintActions() factory, count support via requestAnimationFrame recursion, modifier-based action upgrade, el.isConnected validation, clipboard fallback
  • src/workspace/global-key-handler.ts: added Y_PENDING/D_PENDING states to SeqState enum, hintActions constructor parameter, f/F/y/d dispatch in IDLE and COUNT states, handleYPending/handleDPending handlers, chordText() updates
  • src/main.ts: registerHintMode() → registerHintActions(), hintModeAction → hintActions field, stale hotkey closure fix (indirection pattern), reloadFeatures() reset, three new Obsidian commands
  • New Obsidian commands: vim-motions:hint-open-new-pane, vim-motions:hint-yank, vim-motions:hint-close
  • E2E tests: 10 new tests covering non-editor f/F/yf/df, modifier upgrade, escape, invalid sequence reset, command registration

Fixed

• Global key handler intercepts navigation keys in Obsidian settings modal — j/k/g/z/: and other navigation keys were consumed by GlobalKeyHandler when the settings modal was open. Navigation keys are now suppressed when .modal-container is detected in the DOM via isModalOpen(). Hint actions (f/F/yf/df) still work in modals — they use a separate shouldInterceptHints() gate that does not check for modals.
• Hint mode labels re-trigger instead of selecting label characters — pressing f to activate hint mode, then typing a label character that is also f, would re-trigger hint mode via GlobalKeyHandler instead of being captured by the label selection handler. Fixed by adding an isHintModeActive() flag (exported from hint-mode.ts) that makes GlobalKeyHandler bail entirely during label selection.
• Settings toggles not responding to hint activation — Obsidian's toggle controls (.checkbox-container, a <label> element) required pointerdown/pointerup events before click to trigger the toggle handler. Added full pointer event sequence dispatch for generic element activation.
• Settings dropdowns cycling to wrong element on Obsidian 1.13+ — Obsidian 1.13+ adds hidden <select class="dropdown is-measuring"> shadow copies of every dropdown for layout measurement. These shadow selects have only 1 option and are positioned at the same coordinates as the real dropdown, causing hint labels to sometimes target the measurement copy. Fixed by filtering out elements with the is-measuring class during target discovery.
• Settings controls require Escape before re-activating hints — after activating a toggle or cycling a dropdown in the settings modal, focus remained on the control element, preventing GlobalKeyHandler from intercepting f for the next hint activation. Fixed by blurring the activated element (and any focused child) after activation when inside a .modal-container.
• Dropdowns only focus but don't change value — <select> elements cannot be programmatically opened in Chromium. Changed activation behavior to cycle to the next option value and dispatch a change event, giving immediate feedback instead of requiring manual Arrow key interaction.
• Broadened form control selectors — STANDARD_SELECTORS now includes input:not([type="hidden"]):not([disabled]), textarea:not([disabled]), and select:not([disabled]) to ensure all visible form controls (text inputs, search bars, dropdowns) receive hint labels regardless of their Obsidian-specific parent structure. Removed redundant Obsidian-specific selectors that were subsets of the broader standard selectors. Changed .setting-item-control .checkbox-container to .checkbox-container to match toggles rendered by Obsidian 1.13+'s declarative settings API outside the traditional .setting-item-control parent.

Changed

• Scrolloff cap raised from 20 to 9999 — the scrolloff setting now accepts values up to 9999 (previously capped at 20), enabling the standard Vim pattern of set scrolloff=999 to keep the cursor vertically centered while scrolling. The Settings UI control has been changed from a slider to a validated number input field. Affects all four validation points: Settings UI (structured + manual rendering), vimrc set scrolloff=N / set so=N, and the vim defineOption callback. The underlying CSS scrollMargins implementation was already uncapped. (#40)
  • src/settings.ts: structured definition changed from type: 'slider' to type: 'number' with max: 9999; manual rendering changed from .addSlider() to .addText() with type='number', min='0', max='9999', integer clamping, and fallback to default 5 on invalid input
  • src/vimrc/loader.ts: scrolloff and so option definitions updated from max: 20 to max: 9999
  • src/vim/options.ts: defineOption callback validation updated from n <= 20 to n <= 9999
