Description
Currently single quote and backtick are hard coded in:
https://github.com/philc/vimium/blob/master/content_scripts/marks.coffee
I want to bind the goto mark feature to q, and have to previous position register also on q.
(Since q is way more convenient to use on my keyboard layout compared to backtick)
What I want is the possiblity to set a custom key for previous position register in the options.

Research direction
The hard-coded keys are in content_scripts/marks.coffee; start there and trace how options are defined and read. Done means users can set a custom key for the previous position register in the options and that key is honored by the goto-mark behavior.
