Problem description

When I perform these key sequence in normal mode:

1. Hit either c, d or y
2. Hit Escape

Instead of exiting to normal mode, it enters visual mode.

Reproduction steps

1. Make sure you are in normal mode
2. Hit c (or d, y)
3. Hit Escape

Expected behavior

Shell should exit to normal mode

After some git bisect, I believe 11ab44d is the commit that introduced this behavior.

I've tried to tweak it a little bit. Changing these lines fixes the issue. Not sure if it's the correct way to do it.

if [[ $(zvm_escape_non_printed_characters "$keys") =~
  ${ZVM_VI_OPPEND_ESCAPE_BINDKEY/\^\[/\\^\\[} ]]; then
-  return 1
+  return 0 # return 3 works as well
