Description
I find it much more convenient to control GUI elements through the keyboard, which is why I installed Vimium. But I've never used Vim, so hjkl instead of arrows doesn't seem convenient to me. How to replace hjkl with arrows in Visual mode and Caret mode?

Research direction
Start by tracing how Vimium handles Visual mode and Caret mode, then check whether their hjkl bindings are configurable. Confirm the intended arrow-key behavior for both modes and whether the change needs documentation or implementation; done means arrow keys control both modes without changing unrelated bindings.
