Description

Restore Default Key Mappings

Problem
Currently, when a user maps a certain key, and afterwards wants to restore it to the original key, he has to remember the key or look it up. When several keys were mapped, the easiest way is to re-install the extension altogether.

Suggested solution
To implement a "restore default vimium keys" on Options->Custom key mappings.

Research direction

Start at the Options page's Custom key mappings interface and trace how user mappings are stored and displayed. Determine how the original Vimium mappings are defined, then add a restore-defaults action whose completion state is visible in that interface; verify that customized mappings return to their defaults.
