Description

I normally select a paragraph in vim with v-a-p, but with vimium the p makes me go to a search engine. I searched the possible commands for the custom keybindings but didn't find one that could fulfill this. Is there any way to achieve this binding?

No file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Start by tracing Vimium's custom keybinding handling and visual-mode commands, then determine how paragraph selection should interact with the existing search-engine binding; done means a documented, working binding with coverage for the visual-mode behavior.
