Description
By default, Brave browser uses the syntax ":[character]" for custom search engines. So :g for google etc.
It would be nice to keep this consistent within vimium, but I can't seem to get it working. I am able to copy over all my custom search engines from Brave, but the ":" at the front seems to trip Vimium up. I tried the obvious solutions like butting the ":" inside quotation marks, but I couldn't get it working.

Research direction
The issue identifies Brave's :character custom-search syntax but names no Vimium file or test. Start by locating the custom search-engine configuration and shortcut parsing entry points; done means a colon-prefixed shortcut can be configured or imported and launch the selected engine without breaking existing shortcuts.
