Description

It would be nice not to have to disable the extension with several clicks but to do so with a hotkey?

  • press CTRL+ALT+V then vimium is disabled temporarily
  • You use the sites build in keyboard shortcuts
  • press CTRL+ALT+V enabled vimium again

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating Vimium's keyboard shortcut handling and the extension enable/disable flow; implement the temporary toggle so Ctrl+Alt+V switches Vimium off and on while allowing site shortcuts, then verify the toggle works in both directions.
