Description

Hi Vimium community!

I think it would be useful to allow users to rebind the navigation keys you use whilst in visual mode (h, j, k, l). Other than that, keep up the good work!

Research direction

Start by locating Vimium's visual mode navigation handling and the existing keybinding configuration. Trace how h, j, k, and l are processed, then verify that users can rebind those keys while visual mode navigation still works.
