As far as I know this is currently not possible. cVim is not listening which keys you type while having focused an input field.

as a test I did imap jk editWithVim

and it is at least listening because it eats the "j" and only the k is printed jj yields nothing being printed

this would be killer though. I even have those remapped on readline in bash

also mapping that to j causes it to work and launch vim while in insert mode, so I think that this should be possible

Related question: I would like to unmap escape and just use <C-[> instead because there are times when I want to press escape but stay in insert mode. I've tried unmap <Esc> in my .cvimrc, but it doesn't seem to have an effect. Anyone know if there's a way to unmap the escape key?

This would be pretty cool indeed.

Also looking forward to this feature. Now the only option seems to be to edit content_scripts/mappings.js and content_scripts/keys.js manually.
