I don't understand, the anchor link doesn't go anywhere. It's
to provide a perma-link to that piece of documentation so you
can direct link to it somewhere else.
My guess: "every clickable element has a series of keys shown
above it". The permalinks are not clickable unless you hover
above, thus no "hinting", thus not useable by keyboard-centric
browsers.
Maybe have it always visible and float to the right?
I know why he can't click them, I don't understand why it's a
problem.
Suppose I want to link someone to a function doc. I'd go to the
doc page, press ';y' (which activates hint yank mode), and then
the keys for the anchor. This would yank the anchor URL to my
clipboard so i could paste it in my answer. But this won't work
because the anchor isn't shown unless I hover it with the mouse,
which breaks my flow.
It's a small thing and I'm probably in a minority who work like
this, but it would be nice to have unless there's a good reason
to hide the anchors. I seem to remember before that you could
click the function name to get an anchor link.
