Description

Describe the bug
Whanever I insert a vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive the movement in normal mode of the cursor become super slow, like being made twice. In selection mode it move in normal behaviour.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
this is my settings:

"vim.sneak": true,
"vim.incsearch": true,
"vim.useSystemClipboard": true,
"vim.useCtrlKeys": true,
"vim.hlsearch": true,
"vim.insertModeKeyBindings": [{
"before": ["j", "j"],
"after": [""]
}],
"vim.leader": "",
"vim.handleKeys": {
"": false,
"": false
},
"vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [{
{
"before": ["leader", "w"],
"commands": [
"workbench.action.files.save",
]
},
}],

Expected behavior
Movement in normal mode be as normal as in selection mode, like every vim.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the slowdown in VS Code with the provided vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive configuration, comparing cursor movement in normal and selection modes. Done means normal-mode movement is no longer repeated or noticeably slower after the key binding is enabled.
