Description

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Get auto-suggestions
  2. Click escape
  3. Suggestions don't go away, normal mode triggers.

Expected behavior
Suggestions should go away. Normal mode should trigger if Esc is clicked after they're gone.

I read that Shift+ESC has the expected behavior, but pressing shift+esc is inconvenient. Can we add a config for either options?

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by triggering auto-suggestions and pressing Escape, then inspect the suggestion-dismissal and Escape key-handling entry points. Confirm that Escape dismisses suggestions first and only triggers normal mode after they are gone; also clarify how the requested configuration should work.
