Description
Hi there...
Is there a way to modify the passthrough for this extension such that it doesn't hijack some other Chrome extensions I use? (e.g. gleebox, typeahead etc.). Unfortunately, it's practically unusable for me in it's current state.
My mapping file looks like this:
unmapAll
map dj scrollDown
map dk scollUp
map dh scrollLeft
map dl scrollRight
map yy copyCurrentUrl)
map , Vomnibar.activate
map i focusInput
The surfkeys extension does a good job at a VIM-like approach but ununfortunately takes up 100% CPU everytime I use it.
Thanks,

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported interference with the supplied mapping file while using the gleebox and typeahead Chrome extensions, then inspect how passthrough handles those interactions. Done means Vimium no longer hijacks the other extensions while the listed mappings continue to work.
