Description
It would be nice for the tab keys [J, K], to automatically skip over pages that Vimium is disabled on. For example, if you accidentally tab over to your Gmail inbox, then you can no longer get back to your regular tabs by using Vimium.
Ideally this feature would include the ability to still tab into a non-vimium enabled page like Gmail. Maybe with a combination of J + f ('f' for 'force')

Research direction
The issue names the J and K tab-navigation keys and Gmail as an example, but provides no files, entry points, or tests. Start by locating the handlers for those keys and the logic that detects pages where Vimium is disabled. Clarify the proposed force behavior before defining tests for skipping disabled pages and optionally entering them.
