Description

I used to Search with / and pressing N to find the next occurence in code view of github. But now github hijacks and does all sorts of evil things to prevent me from using this Vimium features. pLease Help don't let github win.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the problem in GitHub's code view with Vimium's / search and N next-occurrence commands, comparing behavior with ordinary pages. Trace how Vimium handles keyboard events in that view and define done as restoring those commands without disrupting GitHub's code-view behavior.
