+.SS Hinting
+Hinting in Vimb is how you accomplish the tasks that you would do with the
+mouse in common mouse-driven browsers: open a URI, yank a URI, save a page and
+so on. When hinting is started, the relevant elements on the page will
+be marked by labels generated from configured `hintkeys'.
+Hints can be selected by using <Tab>, <C-I> or <C-Tab>, <C-O>,
+by typing the chars of the label, or filtering the elements by some text
+that is part of the hinted element (like URI, link text, button label)
+or any combination of these methods.
+If <enter> is pressed, the current active hint will be fired.
+If only one possible hint remains, this will be fired automatically.
+.PP
+.BI Syntax: " ;{mode}{hint}"
+.PP
+Start Hints mode.
+Different elements depending on \fImode\fP are highlighted and `numbered'.
+Elements can be selected either by typing their label, or by typing part
+of their text (\fIhint\fP) to narrow down the result.
+When an element has been selected, it is automatically clicked
+or used (depending on \fImode\fP) and hint mode ends.
+.PP
+The filtering of hints by text splits the query at ' ' and use the single parts
+as separate queries to filter the hints.
+This is useful for hints that have a lot of filterable chars in common
+and many chars are required to make a distinct selection.
+For example ';over tw' will easily select the second hint out of
+{'very long link text one', 'very long link text two'}.
+.PP
+The following keys have special meanings in Hints modes:
+.PD 0
+.IP \fB<CR>\fP
+Selects the first highlighted element, or the current focused.
+.IP "\fB<Tab>\fP"
+Moves the focus to the next hint element.
+.IP "\fB<S-Tab>\fP"
+Moves the focus to the previous hint element.
+.IP "\fB<Esc>, CTRL\-C, CTRL\-[\fP"
+Exits Hints mode without selecting an element.
