Description

It would be great if Vimium could do custom key mappings for specific sites. For example, in vb4c you can write something like this in the config:

site '*://*.reddit.com/*' {
      map j k
}

Which will do the remapping only one reddit domains. Am I correct that this is currently not supported on Vimium?

Research direction

Start by reviewing Vimium's current key-mapping configuration and how site URLs are handled; the issue provides a proposed site block and a Reddit-specific mapping example. Done means users can define mappings scoped to matching sites, while existing global mappings continue to work.
