Description
I have disabled JavaScript for many sites (using the excellent Quick Javascript Switcher extension). I'm finding that several Vimium commands do not work on pages with JavaScript disabled. This includes:
activateModeToCopyLinkUrl("Copy a link URL to the clipboard") brings up hints, but selected hints are not copied to the clipboardshowHelpVomnibar.activateEditUrland seemingly every other shortcut under 'Using the vomnibar'
I can add more as I come across them. Below is screenshot showing the setting for sites where Javascript is disalbed by the extension. Thanks!

Research direction
Reproduce the listed commands with JavaScript disabled, starting with activateModeToCopyLinkUrl, showHelp, and Vomnibar.activateEditUrl. Trace why these commands fail in that browser state; done means the reported commands work when JavaScript is disabled, including copying the selected link URL and opening the relevant interfaces.
