Description

Firefox has the ability to set keyword properties for your bookmarks. So you can set gh as a short-cut alias to your bookmark for github.com. This could be a useful feature in vimium.

It doesn't have to read the keywords from Firefox itself, but be a separate stand-alone feature to use in the Vomnibar. So the expected workflow would be something like:

Vimium Options

keyword gh "www.github.com" 
B gh <RET>

or

o gh <RET>
O gh <RET>

Research direction

Start by locating the Vomnibar and Vimium Options entry points; compare the requested keyword gh "www.github.com" configuration with the B gh <RET> and o/O gh <RET> workflows. Done means aliases can be configured and used in each named workflow, with tests covering the behavior.
