Yep, qutebrowser should also have some more hinting modes :D

You can't really write Python well inline (as an oneliner), so custom hints would look a bit different in qutebrowser, as a separate Python extension which would be loaded from a file: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/30
I agree it'd be great to have a bit more flexibility with regards to hinting actions!
