Description

When I'm in find mode, I often want to start the search again from the top of the page (= to jump to the first match on the page).
In (Neo-)vim this is possible, by 'gg' and 'n'.

Is it possible to implement this (and also jumping to the last match) in Vimium?
Thanks a lot!

Research direction

Start by locating Vimium's find-mode handling and the existing next- and previous-match commands. Trace how find-mode key sequences are mapped, then verify that commands for the first and last match consistently move the search position to the corresponding boundary.
