## Improvements and Fixes

### Improve Element Location Seeker

When using mouseless, you'll notice as you scroll through a page some elements
are not selectable, such as elements in a top bar, sidebar, or popup. mouseless
finds every element's absolute position based on the document and checks if the
element is inside your scroll view. While mouselessV2 finds every element's
relative position to the viewport and checks if the element is inside the
viewport.

### mouseless Randomly Stops Working

This has been fixed with the removal of On and Off Switch feature. mouselessV2
can still be turned on and off in the about:addons settings page.

### Presets

Presets were removed from mouselessV2. However, User Settings now syncs to your
Firefox account, so you can make any changes to key binding and those changes
will persist in all instances of Firefox where you are login.

The reasoning for the removal was I need to come up with new key bindings for
each present for the new actions I added. That would be difficult work since I
don't use any other keyboard layouts. Plus, the removal has made the code much
simpler without presets.

### Modifiers

mouselessv2 allows you to use multiple modifiers for key bindings

e.g. `<Crtl><Alt><Shift>U` `<Crtl>u` `<Crtl><Shift>U` `<Crtl><Alt>u`
