Similar to #311 - if I visit a page with many links, the earliest links cannot be targeted by number alone.
To replicate

=========

* Visit a page with lots of links. Reddit will work, as will Github if your dashboard is busy.
* Press whatever button you've mapped to linkhints. For me, that's f/F.
* Press an 'early' number; that is, something like 1, 2, or 3.
* If there are numbers on the page in the 10/20/30 range, you can't jump to the desired link without previously filtering by typing the link name.
* If there are only a few links on the page, the link is targeted and the click emulated.

Expected (if unworkable) behaviour
============================

* Pressing the link number should emulate a click on that link.
* That's probably unworkable though, because then how would you target links that _start_ with those early numbers?

Solution
======

No idea, unfortunately.
