Vimium: Feature request: Add configuration to specify URLs where insert mode is invoked on load

The "Excluded URLs and keys" on Vimium Options page may help.

Agree with what @gdh1995 recommended, but see also this.

BTW, I have a customized version of Vimium (https://github.com/gdh1995/vimium-c), and I've added 2 new features: "whitelist of hooked keys in exclusion rules" and "command to toggle Vimium's status", so you may have a try: https://github.com/gdh1995/vimium-c/releases

Configure on the options page:

• add an exclusion rule
  
  
  
  • its "patterns" can be what you like, (if a pattern starts with "^", then it's a regexp)
  
  
  • the "keys" should start with a "^", and all others are auto parsed and splitted by spaces
  
  
  • each unit (split by spaces) will be a (composed) key which will be hooked by Vimium C
  
  
  • all other keys will be passed
  
  
  • let's say the keys is "^ <f9> <f10>" for a page of "^file:///D:/"
  
  
• add some key mappings including:
  
  
  
  • map <f9> openUrl url="vimium://status\u0020enable"
  
  
  • map <f10> openUrl url="vimium://status\u0020reset"
  
  
  • map <s-f9> openUrl url="vimium://status\u0020disable"
  
  
  • warn: if disabled, no key mappings will be in use, so it can be re-enabled only from the popup page / omnibox "v" URLs.
  
  

Usage examples:

• open file:///D:/ and press other keys except <f9> or <f10>
  
  
  
  • Vimium does nothing
  
  
• press <f9> and then press f, so Vimium will show link hints
• exit link hints mode and presss <f10>, so Vimium will be reset to the initial "white-list-of-hooked-keys" mode.

Is it enough? Any ideas are welcomed.
