Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm often using different keyboard layouts like Russian, Japanese etc. When I'm using them I can't use any of vim keys. It'd be nice to have Ignore keyboard layout option.
Describe the solution you'd like
The option like in Vimium-C
Recognize keys in en-US QWERTY layout and ignore CapsLock. If partially checked, require Alt (Option).
Describe alternatives you've considered
No alternatives

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Begin by locating the extension's keyboard-handling entry points, then determine how the option should recognize en-US QWERTY keys, ignore CapsLock, and optionally require Alt; done means Vim keys work with the requested layouts and behavior.
