I'm hitting a similar issue with setNumeric.
[SurfingKeys] Error found in settings: TypeError: Hints.setNumeric is not a function

Looks like it's still a function when i pulled the repo, but not sure if that's whats deployed in the chrome extension store.
(using brave btw)

Any help would be appreciated!

Seems like it can be temporarily fixed with this: #1821 (comment)

Watch out -- it doesn't look like this is a fix. Since api.Hints.setCharacters, is not exported, this actually creates a new variable, which is never used. It is effectively equivalent to just removing that line.

Right. See Brook's comment here: #1821 (comment)
