vimium doesn't work with file protocol

[onlyanegg]

I like to download docs for offline reading on the train when I don't have connection. Vimium doesn't work when I open local files on chrome.
I would like to request this feature. Is this a simple mod? Or something more involved?

Thanks!

It's a simple... design of Chrome.

However be noted that PDF pages will still not work since PDF viewer itself is sort of an extension, and Chrome doesn't allow extensions running on extensions.

Thank you!
