I was watching a YT playlist; I was curious to see other videos by scrolling in the playlist, and yet once I pressed "f" there was no letter for the playlist scrolling bar :(

It's similar to #4048 : there should be a collection/set of html tags that we can click on and use them.
I noticed the same behavior with scrollable text area as well

Using chrome

You may use LinkHints to select the marker named SM, and it refers the whole list. And then j and k will scroll the list.

Yes, it works. But once I "selected" the whole list, I'm not able to go back and scroll YT page in order to see the description and comments. Tried gF but no way

Then #4016 will help - with it you can select any element to scroll it or its parents.

I'm sorry, but what do you mean by adding action=hover-and-scroll to LinkHints

With the PR and map Fs LinkHints.activateMode action=hover-and-scroll, you may select any other hint marker, like JE and JH, to setup the target element of Vimium commands like j and k.

I'm feeling quite dummy. What is PR? In a nutshell, what do I have to add in custom key mappings? I'm really sorry

Um. "PR" means:

  • someone writes some code, and adds a "pull request" (here it's add action=hover-and-scroll to LinkHints #4016) to add the code into the official project (here it's "philc/vimium")
  • the request is waiting for reviews from project maintainers (here there's the user named "Philc")
  • maintainers can decide whether to accept the request or not; and if they click "accept", then we say the request is "merged"

In short:

  • currently Vimium can not do what I said.
  • if my add action=hover-and-scroll to LinkHints #4016 is accepted, and then Philc releases a newer version of Vimium with the PR's code, then
    • map Fs LinkHints.activateMode action=hover-and-scroll will begin to take effect
    • And then you may press Fs, j and e to select the JE hint marker and press j / k to scroll the whole page
