Description
I am not sure if it's a bug however my Vomnibar.activateTabSelection is set to "c-space"
If I am writing text in whatever box the feature no longer works (In claude prompt box for example. Or youtube search bar). If I press the keybinding the default brave shortcut happens.
Now I assume vimium is just "deactivated/disabled" when in "insert mode" and only waits for escape. Can this be overwritten?
Basically what I want is to be able to use the TabSelection even when in insert mode. If anyone knows a way around this or can help me out greatly appreciated!
Using Chrome based browser (Brave)

Research direction
Reproduce the Vomnibar.activateTabSelection mapping in a Brave or Chrome text box while Vimium is in insert mode, using the reported "c-space" keybinding. Start by tracing how insert mode handles mapped actions and browser-reserved shortcuts. Done means the tab-selection action works in insert mode without triggering the browser shortcut, with existing insert-mode behavior preserved.
