Consecutive characters break keybindings (but only when typed an odd number of times before the binding)

[talbenari1]

I have the following in my settings.json:

{
 "vim.insertModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [
    {
      "before": ["k", "j"],
      "after": ["<Esc>"]
    },
    {
      "before": ["j", "k"],
      "after": ["<Esc>"]
    }
  ]
}

Here's what happens:

• If I type jk: Triggers escape
• If I type kj: Triggers escape
• If I type jjk: Inserts jjk (unexpected!)
• If I type: kkj: Inserts kkj (unexpected!)
• If I type jjjk: Inserts jj and then triggers escape
• If I type jjjjk: Inserts jjjjk (unexpected!)

In other words, typing the first character of a keybinding an odd number of times before starting the keybinding prevents the keybinding from triggering.

Aside: this becomes a problem in my workflow when trying to type a word like block or obj and then trying to escape. For example, I can't type objjk because of this bug (and I can't type objkj because then it will insert ob, which is expected behavior). I have to resort to waiting for the keybinding timeout to trigger, or using the Touch Bar's escape, or something like that 😢.
