Description
The new Gmail update makes it so you have to manually click the inbox or thread in order to scroll through it with Vimium bindings. I had no luck trying to TAB within focus.
I am not sure if there is a setting to change or where to report this. I don't believe Vimium is at fault here. How would you word this outside the context of Vimium, if reaching out to Google?
Hard to reproduce, but it seems it may also be affecting restoreTab making it restore tabs in other windows. That probably means as far as Vimium is concerned, when in a gmail tab, the focus is on another window. This may make it appear like restoreTab is not working if the other window is not in view.
SPC works but seems to be interpreted by FF not Vimium.
