Description
Please forgive me for the reproducer here, and the report - I am happy to be guided how to report better, but
I am using prompt_toolkit via IPython.
For a while now, I have noticed that, when pressing bb in normal mode, the line goes into insert mode for the second b, and indeed I get a literal b in the text. This is inconvenient, as bb is a very common movement sequence for me.
Is there any better information I can provide by way of a bug report?

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by using prompt_toolkit through IPython, entering Vim normal mode, and pressing bb. Then inspect the keybinding handling for multi-key sequences; done means the first use of bb remains a movement and does not enter insert mode or insert a literal b, with regression coverage for that behavior.
