Description
Bug description
I remapped <Space><Space> to <Esc> in insert mode. I want to input a space character if the space key is hit once and switch to normal mode if the space key is hit twice rapidly. But when the space key is hit once, the characters are "shifted down".
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- remap
<Space><Space>to<Esc>in insert mode - switch to insert mode
- hit space key once
- See error
Environment:
- Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 1.27.3 (latest)
- VSCode version: 1.91.0 ea1445cc7016315d0f5728f8e8b12a45dc0a7286 x64 (latest)
- OS: Manjaro Linux x86_64

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in VSCodeVim using the insert-mode mapping to , then inspect the extension's insert-mode key handling and rendering path. Done means a single space is rendered normally while two rapid spaces switch to normal mode without shifted characters or an error.
