Description
Hello ,
sometimes when we have multiple scrollable areas find it convenient to use the mouse to click on the scrollable area I want , then when I want to scroll in another area I would use again the mouse , click and then use vimium.
I would like to propose a functionality where I would press a button and it would cycle between scrollable areas.
I also noticed an issue opened for the same reason that wasn't closed and had no replies from last year.
Issue #4760
Would this be something doesn't contradict vimium's philosophy ? If not I would like to help implementing that, I already did for a POC a function that collects scrollables and returns them for a start.

Research direction
Start by reviewing issue #4760 and the reported proof-of-concept that collects scrollable areas. Then trace how Vimium handles commands and the current view to determine where cycling belongs. Done means an agreed behavior for selecting and rotating through scrollable areas, implemented with coverage for the reported multi-area example.
