Instead of numbers used for link hints in Firefox Vimperator addon, I would like to display characters like in Vimium in Google Chrome.

How can I change this configuration?

Note: You lose the feature to select a link by typing a part of it. Before switching, you might consider to keep the numbers. – blinry Jan 27 at 21:15

The hintchars variable determines which characters are used for hints. By default, it's set to 0123456789, but you can change it to whatever characters you like. Enter this:

:set hintchars=hjklasdfgyuiopqwertnmzxcvb

The characters are used in the defined order.

See this question on changing the hint's appereance: How to make Vimperator's "numbered" links bigger?

To make the settings permament, put the commands (without the colons) in your .vimperatorrc file, see :help initialization.

Replace the red by another color you like. To learn more, read the CSS tutorial linked in the other answer. – blinry Jan 27 at 21:13
