Description
I recently found out that there is mapkey available.
However, it doesn't work as I expected.
For example:
mapkey q <left>
mapkey e <right>
Since there are no mapped commands for <left> and <right> in Vimium,
I expect Vimium will send the key events to the page, but it doesn't.
Would it be hard to implement this?
It may seem trivial, but I think this can be a huge improvement in Vimium's customizability.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by tracing how the mapkey configuration handles unmapped and commands, then verify whether those mappings generate key events in the page. Done means q and e send the corresponding left and right keys when Vimium has no command for them.
