Description
Hey, first of all, thank's for this plugin ! It's really pleasant to have a vim-like experience in the browser :)
I was thinking if it can be consider to add other mode in the vomnibar, normal mode like at least and visual mode like can be a cool addition.
The most obvious use-case is when editing the current URL, if we can replace some part of the URL quickly it cool be great.
As I saw it, vomnibar will open in Insert mode by default, then hiting Esc will switch to normal mode. A second Esc hit will quit vomnibar. As this behavior will not match all usage, I think it should also be an option that we can enable/disable in the vimium options/
