Description

On Chrome, I can type something like "@gemini Do Something" in the url bar to perform a Gemini query, and I'd like to be able to do this using a vimium shortcut. I expected to be able to achieve this by creating a custom search engine, but this raises an error, "This search engine doens't have a valid URL:"

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the custom search engine error in Vimium and compare it with Chrome's "@gemini" URL-bar behavior. Done means a Vimium shortcut can submit a Gemini query without the invalid-URL error, with coverage for the supported configuration.
