Description

In insert mode I'd like to be able to hit escape and return to visual mode, but I have to hit escape twice if a suggestion popup is visible. Similar to this: https://github.com/vscode-neovim/vscode-neovim/issues/677

Research direction

Reproduce the behavior in VS Code by entering insert mode, opening a suggestion popup, and pressing Escape. Trace the extension's keybinding and popup handling, using the linked vscode-neovim issue for comparison; done means one Escape returns to visual mode even when the popup is visible.
