I used Vimium
recently and was fascinated about its 'link hunt mode'
feature. I wonder if there exists any tool like it in Windows such that pressing F would auto-assign a key combination for all UI components (checkbox
, textbox
, dropdown list
, etc.) on a Windows form
and then pressing that key combination would focus the corresponding UI element
.

The LabelControl AutoHotkey script can overlay buttons, controls, and other interface elements with a number. You can access the interface controls at any time by inputting the number that belongs to one of them.
E.g. here is a GIF of the LabelControl AutoHotkey script with its numbers:

I haven’t tried it though.
Fluent Search has a Screen Search feature that works with any application. You can just set a key-binding to invoke it and use it.
Press Alt once in newer MS Office products (I guess >=2010) to get a 'link hunt mode'-style key shortcuts.

Another cool software is KeyMouse. It's newer and more actively developedthan the Hunt and Peck.
