Description
Describe
I cannot move through the browser tabs only with the keyboard because when applying the J, K key shortcut to move, when I move to a tab that has a text box, it focuses there and instead of moving it writes text there
Reproduce
- You are in any tab
- Press J or K
- If the tab has a text box the focus is placed there
- Type text instead of moving to the next/previous tab.
The option of using ctrl+tab is not an option for me since my hand makes a movement that I don't want to do, I want to be able to achieve it with vimium shortcuts.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the J/K tab-navigation behavior with a text box focused in the destination tab, then trace the keyboard handling and focus behavior for those shortcuts. Done means J and K continue moving between tabs without placing focus in a tab's text box or inserting typed text.
