Doesn't work at all with the "Vimium" Chrome extension [1]. What a shame.

Sure it does. Just press i to enter insert mode. You have to do this for a couple of things to work (ie direct links to .swfs). It sucks to do, but I'm not going to give up Vimium to avoid having to enter insert mode every now and then.
You call a shame the fact that this website does not work with your very specific add-on that modifies entirely how the browser handles in-page navigation?
Well, yeah. It's not a text box; it's reading the input directly, so vimium doesn't know not to interpret it as commands.

You can easily work around this by hitting 'i' (insert mode) or disabling vimium for the page (hit icon -> exclude url).
