As it seems some bugs are being closed cause "there has been very little interest" on them i want to confirm that i'm still interested on this bug.

Allowing extensions in Reader View would be very nice to have. I am a keyboard-only user using Vimium. I use Reader View heavily, and it's really aggravating to go back to the mouse/direction keys.

To further expand on this (since everybody will (have) be(en) annoyed by a notification anyway...):
In addition to the annoyance of having to switch keyboard shortcuts, the lack of Vimium in reader mode makes some functionality straight-out impossible (or at least far more convoluted). For instance, Vimium has "marks" (which are very similar to Vim's marks or Emacs's position registers) — you can set a "mark" at a certain scroll position (or multiple marks at multiple positions), scroll away somewhere else and then jump back to one of your marks. This is extremely useful when reading a long article and, say wanting to remind yourself of what was written earlier, wanting to quickly cross-reference multiple passages, or referring back to several diagrams or equations that are mentioned later. (For some of these use-cases a well-designed HTML document with appropriate internal/section links would suffice, but even the best-designed document can't really cover all possible combinations, and besides the design of a document is obviously beyond the reader's control.)
BTW, as an aside: is there an "approved" place to collect potential use-cases (ideally in a globally editable wiki-like location) without having to distract everyone following this bug, and similar bugs? The user-voice linked to from here appears to be no longer available.

The bug assignee is inactive on Bugzilla, so the assignee is being reset.
