How to issue vimium commands inside an input text/textarea HTML element.

[niloct]

I've failed to find out how to use Vimium when a input text/textarea HTML element has focus().

For instance, I would like to activate the f command to see links on page, when focused on a text element.

Is this possible ?

Thanks for the awesome tool!

Unfortunately not, on Vimium and up to now.

The below is an AD: I've written a customized version of Vimium: Vimium C (https://github.com/gdh1995/vimium-c) and it supports several ways to trigger commands in insert mode (please see https://github.com/gdh1995/vimium-c/wiki/Trigger-commands-in-an-input-box).

For those unaware, you can press Esc to unfocus the element first. There doesn't appear to be a one-button way to return to the previously focused element, but you can use f to find the element again (or gi).
