Description
Describe the bug
If you have a Google Spreadsheet Tab open in the background and want to switch tabs e.g. with h and l it will go into "insert" mode and start typing.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Open a few tabs, in the middle a spreadsheet
- Start from the left and press l repeatedly (or L per default I think) to go to the very last tab
- It will (in most cases) go into insert mode over the spreadsheet
I think Google Spreadsheets might steal your input focus on something like the "tab switch" event.
I would like an option to disable "input stealing on tab switching".
Browser and Vimium version
Firefox 90.0.2

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in Firefox with a Google Spreadsheet open among several tabs, then trace the tab-switching and focus behavior in the extension. The issue names no source files or tests, so locate the relevant tab-navigation entry point and determine how an option should prevent focus stealing. Done means the option is available and switching tabs no longer puts the spreadsheet into insert mode.
