Description
Firefox's keyword search feature is so awesome. I always use it. But unfortunately, Vimium does not support this feature in open popup. We still have to do this in search bar. You can find more information from here and here.
(Example) Steps to reproduce:
- Press
oorO - Type
yt numa numa - This should navigate to YouTube search page results (But it searches in default search engine instead)

Research direction
Start by tracing how the o and O open-popup commands handle typed search terms. Reproduce the yt numa numa example and compare it with Firefox smart keyword behavior; done means the popup routes recognized keywords to the corresponding keyword search instead of the default search engine.
