Description
Using Vimium 1.67 in Brave.
I'd like to set a shortcut for "open in current tab". For instance : "open www.google.com in current tab".
Obviously, without having to type the URL. It has to be a preset URL, indicated in the Vimium config.
The createTab command opens a specific URL in a new tab and switches to this new tab, but there doesn't seem to be a command to do the same thing in the current tab.
Is there a command for that, or at least a way to bodge it?

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing createTab command and the Vimium configuration where preset URLs are defined. Check how command arguments and current-tab navigation are handled; done means a configured preset URL can be invoked by a shortcut and replaces the current tab without opening or switching to a new tab.
