Description
The topmost feature configuration in Vimium's settings is: 'Excluded URLs and keys'.
Which is basically a blacklist.
But to enable only a couple of keys (e.g. scroll, tab switch) - you have to go through and disable all other keys. It's tedious.
Would be nice to have also a White list of enabled keys by URL.

Research direction
Start by tracing Vimium's settings handling for “Excluded URLs and keys” and how URL matching determines enabled key mappings. Define how a per-URL whitelist should coexist with the existing blacklist, then verify that a URL can enable only selected keys such as scrolling or tab switching without requiring all other keys to be disabled.
