Description

The focus is stolen to the text area and I can't use any vimium bindings and have to use chromium default keybindings to switch to another tab or the like. This is a cause of constrant frustration for me when iterating through tabs and suddenly I drop into this 'hole' of google docs tab and need to use a different key to 'escape'.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. First reproduce the focus-stealing behavior on docs.google.com with Vimium enabled, then locate the extension code handling focus and keyboard input; done means Vimium bindings remain usable when interacting with a Google Docs tab.
