pierreganty created an issue (vim/vim#18567)

Steps to reproduce

:onoremap gb <cmd>normal! V<cr>

Then typing cgb in Insert mode does require two <Esc> to exit into Normal mode.

Expected behaviour

Only one <Esc> to exit into Normal mode instead of two.

Version of Vim

9.1.754

Environment

macOS 15.7
ghostty 1.2.2
$TERM is xterm-ghostty

I think this fixes it, but not sure what this breaks:

The change worked for me. I observed one test failure related to xdg which is likely to be unrelated.

Not intending to fix this as this might be a backwards incompatible change, as discussed in the related PR #18585
