Is there a way to activate vomnibar in insert mode? #3401

Is there an easy way to activate vomnibar regardless of the mode?

Alternatively it could be set as one of the chrome shortcuts for vimium

I tried setting imap, before finding out it's not yet possible. I also tried map with multiple command to passNextKey and give next key as well to open the vomnibar but that didn't work

Currently not available on Vimium.

Browser extensions APIs have provide chrome.commands.*** to execute shortcuts "globally", but Vimium doesn't use it. As for Vimium's insert mode which is active when an <input> is focused, there's no logic to trigger commands.

(The following is an AD) I've written a customized version of Vimium: https://github.com/gdh1995/vimium-c . It supports global shortcuts, which are always available even in insert mode, and it allows <f1> to <f12> to be triggered when an <input> is focused (though a "global" insert mode entered by enterInsertMode doesn't allow them).
