Arrow keys in insert mode cancel insert multiplicity

[Brennan Vincent]

Example of multiple insert:

From normal mode, type "5i", then enter "asdf<ESC>". Buffer after this
operation:

asdfasdfasdfasdfasdf

However, if an arrow key is entered in insert mode, the effect is
canceled, and only one copy of "asdf" appears.

That's because it went into the moderation queue and needed to be
approved first.
