It would be awesome to have the ability to "hover" the mouse on a certain link. Lots of newer web pages have dropdowns/hover scripts that are only visible when you hover the mouse over a link (as an example, put your mouse over the "Watchers" button, and the "Watchers" tooltip expands from it.

while playing a few minutes on Github I was able to trigger some hover effects with $('<selector>').trigger('mouseover')

Sometimes hover needs to be triggered not only on links, but other elements like images or texts

835 looks promising for this issue.

@smblott-github I've also implemented this at #1032, but with "unhovering" too. This ensures that only one element is ever hovered at any time, by providing a mouseout event to the last hovered element (and provides a command to trigger this manually).
A good example of when the last hovered element should be "unhovered" is the movie images on this IMDb page. Clicking/hovering more than one of these successively with LinkHints.activateModeToOpenInNewTab, LinkHints.activateModeToOpenInNewForegroundTab, or #835's LinkHints.activateHoverEffectMode highlights the issue nicely.

FYI to everyone following this, here are some hints on getting this working: https://github.com/philc/vimium/pull/1032#issuecomment-60500519. Works great! @mrmr1993 Thanks for the work.

Yeah, this would be absolutely amazing. And also feature for focusing that link would be awesome.
For example I need to access volume slider on youtube - I'd target it with focus and then set up volume with arrows (maybe there is another option, but I didn't figure it out yet).

If you've got nothing meaningful to add other than "+1" add the emote to the Original Post. This way we don't get unnecessary notifications.

Hi, What is the status of this issue?

It's unlikely to become a whole new command.
I'd like to do it via a command option (see option B in #2319).

Is there any update or plan to support this feature, since it keeps popping up in multiple issues over time?

This is the feature I miss most from VimFX - being able to ef and focus pretty much anything on the page

@tshakah It's one of reasons I moved to https://github.com/brookhong/Surfingkeys which permit this with Ctrl+H.
By the way, Vimium still is a great extension. ;)

@A1vinSmith You can check the code here https://github.com/brookhong/Surfingkeys/blob/be08a74e2cd342dd39e161b7d35070e324633369/pages/default.js#L145 and specially the
dispatchMouseClick function https://github.com/brookhong/Surfingkeys/blob/a948e73f3c263a91e3db5e05066e1f1751cfb983/content_scripts/hints.js#L566.

It doesn't work that well on SurfingKey either, though...
