Description
When using 'J' and 'K' or gt / gT to navigate between tabs, this stops working when either Google Docs or GMail tab is hit.
In a Google Doc, the 'J' and 'K' keys start typing in the doc.
In GMail, the 'J' and 'K' keys don't work.
Is there a key modifier / hotkey for Vimium that could be invoked to take control when hitting these websites? As a heavy G-Suite user, vimium is pretty limited for tab navigation.

Research direction
Start by reproducing tab navigation with J, K, gt, and gT while switching through Google Docs and Gmail tabs. Then trace Vimium's key handling and site-specific behavior; done means tab navigation remains usable on both sites without interfering with document typing or Gmail shortcuts.
