Description

Describe the bug

I want to be able to scroll within individual elements that contain text. For e.g. https://github.com/wez/wezterm/issues/216#issuecomment-647820803 shows a long configuration. Is there any existing bindings to do this? I tried gf/gF but since this is not an iFrame, it does not help.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to URL https://github.com/wez/wezterm/issues/216#issuecomment-647820803
  2. Try to scroll the configuration.

Browser and Vimium version

If you're using Chrome, include the Chrome and OS version found at chrome://version. Also include
the Vimium version found at chrome://extensions.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the configuration example at the linked GitHub issue comment and compare its behavior with the existing gf/gF bindings. The work is complete when text-containing elements such as that configuration can be scrolled individually without relying on an iframe.
