I could have exhausted these tests before bothering you, please forgive me.\r\n\r\nWell, it can get weirder: with `Tab Activate` disabled, I can map any letter, upper or lowercase, but ... with `Tab Activate` enabled, all capital letters don't work, and any lowercase letter (or combination of lowercase letters) works. So, `Tab Activate` somehow is interfering, for sure.\r\n\r\nBy any chance have you come across or heard of any other extension like `Tab Activate` (it just opens new tabs on the foreground), but which doesn't mess with Vimium ? I'd be happy to switch over."}}
