hi, thanks for this nifty extension!

How to I enable cVim mode to stop Chrome from grabbing keyboard after changing tabs with "gt"?

As soon as I reach a "New Tab", Chrome grabs the kb and puts the kb input I meant for cVim into the search bar. So if I want to go back a tab as in "gT", Chrome is now searching for "gT" and brings up a page full of cars!

There is a boolean option called "autofocus", which is true by default. It "allows websites to automatically focus an input box when they are first loaded".

Disable it by including the following in your cvimrc:
set noautofocus
