Description

Run: I\t\t<esc>...

It successfully inserts tabs in the first part (the I\t\t<esc> block), but repeating the command with ... does not successfully append 2 tabs to the front of the line.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the exact I\t\t<esc>... sequence in VSCodeVim and compare the initial insertion with the repeated command. Trace the command-repeat handling used by the extension; done means repeating the command appends two tabs to the front of the line as reported.
