Research direction

Reproduce the issue on Wikipedia's Main Page using Alt-f and observe how Vimium and the page's search box respond. Trace the handling of the "Open multiple links in a new tab" shortcut; done means Alt-f no longer causes the page to scroll while the intended Vimium behavior remains available.
