Description
I would like to emulate ninjafeet by manually defining the mappings that I always use:
{
"before": ["z","[","a","b"],
"after": ["F","(","i"]
},
(A rough implementation of finding the previous ( on the line and start insert mode.)
However, while F(i works, and deleting any of the keys in the before array also works ([ab, zab, z[b, z[a). I have also tried that zxab doesn't work either.
I wonder if there is a setting limiting the number of keys. I have also tried to lengthen the time for remapping from 1000 to 3000. I don't think that is the reason.
Thanks in advance. (VSCode version 1.28.2)

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with the shown normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive mapping in VS Code and compare four-key input with the working shorter mappings. Trace the normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive handling and verify that the four-key sequence is recognized without relying on the timeout setting; done when the reported mapping works as described.
