Feature request - Paste and go in new tab (VimFX feature) about saka-key HOT 7 OPEN

@eejdoowad While your plan sounds good, just to clarify how VimFx worked to avoid confusion:

• Simply selecting text anywhere in many "Linux OS:es" copies that text into the "selection clipboard".
• VimFx's P does not modify the clipboard in any way, it is just "paste and go in new tab". I think it uses the selection clipboard if it exists, falling back to the "normal" clipboard otherwise.
• VimFx has a y command in its Caret mode to copy the selected text, clear the selection and return to Normal mode.

I like this feature. Added to the Todos.

I’m confused: Isn’t this the “Activate Clipboard in Foreground Tab” (yshift-f) command? If we’re talking about VimFx’s P.

Now that I think about it, this is a combination of two commands:

• Copy selection to clipboard
• Open clipboard in Foreground Tab

You'll be able to create a custom command comprising these two commands once I release the JavaScript commands feature I've been working on.

Adding onto this, being able to select the URL bar (o in VimFX) would be a super helpful addition

@Districtfine That is something that is currently not possible for WebExtensions. You'll have to stick with ctrl+l, alt+d and F6 for now.
