As far as I'm concerned link hinting is the best idea in browsing since tabs. How unfortunate then that Opera, the browser that introduced 
tabs, has no implementation of hinting—or so I thought. In fact, a perfectly adequate hinting system has been available for Opera for over 
a year as part of vimperopera.  I have no interest in the rest of it, but the hinting code is easy to lift and add to an existing keyboard layout. The sun is shining. Birds are singing.
