If you prefer to use Youtube's shortcuts, then add an exclusion rule.
Click on the Vimium icon (top right), and add a rule:
- Pattern: something like
https?://www.youtube.com/watch* - Keys: something like
f1578
Click Save changes.

Or, if you want to mix and match Vimium and Youtube shortcuts, then use this approach.

what does the first comment do?
does it exclude vimimum from workign on yt, and restoring yt's default keys?
or excluding and then addding new vimimum keys afterwards?
--
i dont understand the 2nd comment, what is it doing? is it adding a new vimumn key to skip to the exact % of the video
or is it 'passing' a vimumium key and thus restoring yt's default keys?
--
is it difficult to jsut fix this problem?
it was expected that all default keys on a site would work -- and that the vimimum keys are 'extras' -- that was the whole point of installing it
this is the main reason why i quickly did not use vimimum until only recently
i think this problem occurred the entire last year and over
--
does github not have any in-site notifications?? are the notifications only sent to the acc's email?

if you just go on insert mode, youtube shortcuts work well ! (

@maoow genius, but the only problem is that when you go to insert mode, there is a small div in bottom right that says "Insert". So if I go to insert mode and press "f" to make youtube player fullscreen, I have this annoying insert div on bottom right.
But if I press escape, then youtube players exits out of fullscreen.
However I think this issue #2963 talks about that edge case as well.

There's an _advanced option_ named Hide the Heads Up Display (HUD) in insert mode on Vimium Options page.
