Description

It's annoying. When I have vimium installed, I can't type the pipe symbol "|" - It doesn't seem to be a shortcut to anything. But I just can't write it anywhere in the browser.
Does anybody have the same problem and possibly a workaround?

Research direction

Reproduce the problem with Vimium installed by trying to type the pipe character in the browser. Trace the key-handling path responsible for intercepting that input and verify that the pipe can be entered normally while Vimium remains enabled.
