Compatibility issues with built in Vim

[CuteWaterBeary]

So I really like this plugin and want to keep using it but when running it alongside the built in VIM keybindings it cause an annoying issue:

If I call vimium: show markers then they show up but whatever I press does not get captured by vimium because the VIM keybindings capture it first and do not allow passthrough. The only way I can get vimium to capture the key strokes is to press a first to get into insert mode and then call vimium: show markers.

Is there any way this extra step can be removed? Its most problematic when I'm in a area where there is no insert mode possibility like a side panel.

Maybe making the vimium event listener higher priority than vim?

I tried to figure out a way I could use a shortcut key to run a macro that first send a keypress of the letter a and then does the vimium: show markers command but I could not find a way to send that letter a keypress

A silly method that just crossed my mind would be to prepend A in front of all the generated vimium markers using css

Hi there!)
This very annoying bug. But i found temporary solution for that. Maybe this will help you)
Just patch your .obsidian/pluging/viminum/main.js file

function isEditingWithVim(app) {
    const activeLeaf = app.workspace.activeLeaf;
    if (!activeLeaf) return false;

    const view = activeLeaf.view;
    console.log(view)

    // Check source mode
    if (view.getMode() === "source") {
        const editorEl = document.querySelector('.vimrc-support-vim-mode');
        return editorEl?.getAttribute('data-vim-mode') === "insert";
    }
    return false;
}

function simulateKeyPress(targetElement, key, code, keyCode) {
    const eventInit = {
        key: key,
        code: code,
        keyCode: keyCode,
        which: keyCode,
        bubbles: true,
        cancelable: true,
        composed: true
    };

    // keydown event
    const keydownEvent = new KeyboardEvent("keydown", eventInit);
    targetElement.dispatchEvent(keydownEvent);

    // keyup event
    const keyupEvent = new KeyboardEvent("keyup", eventInit);
    targetElement.dispatchEvent(keyupEvent);
}


  createMarkers() {
    // patch for vim visual mode (just enter to editor mode)
    // note - MARKERS SELECTIONS NOT WORK in visual mode
    if (isEditingWithVim(this.app)) {
        console.log("Редактор находится в режиме редактирования и вставки (Vim Insert Mode).");
    } else {
        simulateKeyPress(document.activeElement || document, "i", "KeyI", 73);
        console.log("Редактор либо не в режиме редактирования, либо не в режиме вставки.");
    }
...
