Reset numbering for SPAs

[4voiceAG]

This addin is a great help for navigating the web by voice, but I noticed that for SPAs, the hint numbers can climb up very fast.

When entering the page (or refreshing the page), they start in the lower 2-digit range, but since you stay on the same base URL when navigating such an app, the page isn't refreshed and hint numbering goes up and up.

For example, after a few times switching tabs, even activating a simple recording button becomes a challenge:

Switching again 3 more times, we're in the 800 range already:

Unfortunately, I don't have a solution for this right now, but would it help to restart counting whenever the path changes?
Usually, such SPAs use the path to navigate to different views, so elements on other views are not visible/accessible anyway.

Do you think this could help keeping the numbers down and make clicking the corresponding elements easier?

I'm working on a new version of CBV that reuses hints of elements that have disappeared. That appears to help a lot on at least some SPAs like Slack.

I will try and release that over Thanksgiving break if I get a chance.

In the meantime, you can just refresh the hints to get them to be smaller again for a while.

(If you issue another show hints command, it removes the existing hints then creates new ones. Importantly, this does not reload the page or otherwise cause you to lose your place.)
