Feature Request: Hotkey to temporarily Disable vimium

[mogwai]

It would be nice not to have to disable the extension with several clicks but to do so with a hotkey?

• press CTRL+ALT+V then vimium is disabled temporarily
• You use the sites build in keyboard shortcuts
• press CTRL+ALT+V enabled vimium again

You can edit the menu shortcut in chrome://extensions/shortcuts but still haven't to click to disable on the site.

Currently Vimium supports enterInsertMode and passNextKey commands. See https://github.com/philc/vimium/wiki/Disabling-Vimium#temporarily-disabling-vimium and https://github.com/philc/vimium/wiki/Tips-and-Tricks#using-the-escape-key-in-inputs .

If you want a shortcut to disable Vimium totally and re-enable it, then there's no command for it in Vimium.

The below is an AD: my customized version of Vimium (named Vimium C) supports this feature, and its usage is here: gdh1995/vimium-c#113 (comment) (https://github.com/gdh1995/vimium-c/wiki/Enable-or-Disable-all-frames-by-a-shortcut#how-to-toggle-pass-keys).

Upvoting this one. Basically the use case for me is to be able to use vimium in combination with whatever shortcuts a particular website has.

The reason is that normally the tailored shortcuts for a website are often more powerful and faster than using Vimium to do the same thing, but they usually don't cover full keyboard navigation (e.g. Jira, Github, Pocket, Gmail, etc).

For some of those sites I end up disabling Vimium completely.

Count me in! Although disabling it by pressing a button sounds great, for me personally just a blacklist of website vimium should not run on, would be saving me some keystrokes. :)

I also would like such functionality. And ideally an option to automatically toggle off vimium when entering fullscreen.

Need this. Lost a chunk of work today because of contention between vimium and the vim undo and Cntl-R commands.

Yes, please. This would be awesome with Jupyter notebooks.

Yes, please. This would be awesome with Jupyter notebooks.

Actually just came here because it was annoying in Jupyter notebook

Actually just came here because it is annoying in google docs where Ctrl+shift+v is uesed for special paste value notebook

In my case, using the insert mode works well enough in most cases.

"ctrl-z" is the shortcut in emacs to disable evil-mode and fall through to core emacs hotkeys. Might be a nice parallel?

any movement on this? I would like to have vimium disabled by default on sites that have their own keybindings like youtube and notion.

But toggling it on would be great so i can move down and copy text
