Description
I am writing an extension which I want to use a similar pattern that vimium uses to select links (but in my case I'll be selecting paragraphs on the page). But if the user has vimium installed, after pressing the shortcut to activate the paragraph-selection mode they will have to press i first before typing out the paragraph hint. Is there a way to temporarily disable vimium from another extension? Maybe adding a dom element that vimim would see and not react to key presses when that element is present?
