Description

I use a separate extension to do a simple thing: copy the URLs of all tabs. But it lacks a keyboard shortcut, let alone
a convenient Vim-style, no-modifier shortcut.

Is this technically feasible and relatively easy to implement in Vimium? If so, I would be willing to help -- note,
however, that I am not a Javascript programmer (lots of Python, Ruby, Perl experience). I found how yy is
implemented in the current code (in copyCurrentUrl(), for example), but I would need some guidance
to pitch in.

Thanks for thinking this over.

Research direction

Start with the existing yy handling and copyCurrentUrl() implementation mentioned in the issue. Determine how a no-modifier shortcut could access all tab URLs, and consider the work complete when a defined shortcut copies the URLs of every open tab.
