Description

Currently, you can use keyword option only for Vomnibar.activate and Vomnibar.activateInNewTab (https://github.com/philc/vimium/wiki/Tips-and-Tricks#keyboard-shortcuts-for-custom-search-engines ).
keyword option should be available for other vomnibar commands like Vomnibar.activateTabSelection.
This way, user can map keyboard shortcut to a bookmark or a tab.
Example:
map s Vomnibar.activateTabSelection keyword=slack
Pressing 's' opens first result of 'slack' input in Vomnibar.activateTabSelection .
