Description

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Do <C-t><M-p>. Tab is not pinned.
I don't know how hard it would be to implement this, but it's not impossible, because I see the Ferro chrome extension doesn't have this limitation... (alt shift p on there). There are probably more actions that are "possible" but don't work on Vimium, but I have to do a school thing rn so yea can't check... I'd be willing to help work on this later if there's some way it could be implemented, but I've never done anything related to chrome extensions before so idk...

Browser and Vimium version

1.60.114 Chromium: 119.0.6045.124 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Vimium 2.0.5

Research direction

Start by reproducing in Chromium on a new tab and a PDF, then trace the extension's tab-pinning command handling. Done means the Pin Tab action pins tabs in these contexts, while preserving its existing behavior elsewhere.
