Unfortunately this doesn't work well with ServiceNow. With the Polaris UI it's blocking typing in shortcut keys into search fields, by default that's '.' and ',', so quite annoying.

Jeremi Pijanowski, 2024-03-07

Works great. I don't need the added complexity of vimium (and it conflicts with a lot of native shortcuts on websites like GitHub), so this is perfect. My only request would be allowing configuration of the characters used for hints, but even as it stands with the right QMK configuration one-handed navigation is a breeze.
