Describe the bug

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- bind c-w to scrolltotop
Browser and Vimium version Chrome | 126.0.6478.127 OS | Windows 11 Version 23H2 (Build 22631.3880) Vimium | 2.1.2
As far as I know, addons aren't allowed to rebind browser built in shortcuts. On Mac you can change Chrome shortcuts so that might work. Otherwise, there doesn't seem to be a native way to change or unmap Chrome's defaults. So the only way you might be able to do this is by trying one of the extensions to remap browser shortcuts. I saw someone recommend this https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/autocontrol-keyboard-shor/lkaihdpfpifdlgoapbfocpmekbokmcfd and it might work for that, but I can't endorse it. A normal extension that uses JS to "change" shortcuts definitely won't work because it's not actually altering the Chrome defaults, it's just adding a new one into the js of the page.
I hope this helps. afaik what you are asking is somewhat unsupported.
Just reinforcing @UncleSnail's point as the Vimium wiki says the same in the FAQ section Why can't I remap Ctrl-N and similar keys on Linux and Windows?
