Description

The visual mode mappings are not listed as modifiable commands. That is, it's not in the https://github.com/philc/vimium/wiki/Keymap. This renders the normal visual mode more or less useless for me – I've made some slight modifications from standard behaviour and I use a Colemak layout. This is compatible with the fixed visual mode mappings.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

  1. Open settings and see for yourself

Research direction

Start in Vimium's settings and compare the available visual mode mappings with the commands listed on the Keymap wiki page. Trace how the existing fixed visual mappings are exposed, then make the visual mode commands appear as modifiable settings. Done means users can see and customize those mappings, including for a Colemak layout.
