Description

The key combo alt-f is now being using by Chrome 70 to open its main menu. However, vimium grab that key combo first. This mean I have to manually do unmap <a-f> so I can exit the browser with alt-f x, as ctrl-shift-Q no longer exits the browser.

Chrome version: 70.0.3538.67 (Official Build)
Vimium version: 1.64
