Description
During React App development,
I need to make sure my form input catches 'ESC' event, but Vimium is interrupting this process.
I have an input field
<input onKeyDown={(e)=>{
if(e.key === "escape"){ console.log("escaped!")}
}}/>
But e.key is never called when I hit ESC. Turning off Vimium works.

Research direction
Start with the supplied React input reproduction and investigate Vimium's handling of the Escape key while an input is focused. Confirm the behavior with Vimium enabled and disabled; done means the input receives its Escape keydown without requiring Vimium to be turned off.
