In zle_keymap.c, near line 1493, timeout is set only if
(f != t_undefinedkey). But ESC is an undefinedkey in vicmd keymap,
and the timeout remains to be zero even if ispfx is true.

I guess the timeout should always be set if ispfx is true.
Maybe something like the following?

I don't think this helps because where the prefix is an individual key
typed by the user, they are then forced to type the following character
in the sequence faster than KEYTIMEOUT. And if something like <Escape>a
is typed too fast from vi-mode, it would still be thrown out as a whole.
Taking the default emacs bindings, Ctrl-X is a prefix but we don't
want a timeout after Ctrl-X because it is the user typing followup
characters.

The current behaviour where the whole sequence is thrown out is
consistent with emacs. I think it makes sense for the typical emacs case
if you make a mistake with a manual sequence. We can't really
special-case escape because manual sequences with escape are also common
in emacs mode. Binding escape in vi command mode does, however, solve
it.

I knew this but was thinking this was not a serious problem, but

yes, I didn't test for emacs mode but was just imagining that prefixes
in emacs mode are taken care of somewhere else.


Then maybe just to modify the default?
Or create a widget like z_nop (no operation)?

This seems reasonable to me.

This patch does that then, using deactivate-region as the name for the
new widget. I searched emacs documentation to see if it has something
similar, mainly to ensure consistent naming. It seems in emacs you have
to use Ctrl-G which is a more general command for aborting things.

Also note that set-mark-command with a negative argument will deactivate
the region but I don't think it is possible to bind to that directly.
