Compatibility with xcape?

General information

• Terminal program: wezterm 20230310-182648-fe6280f0
• Operating system: arch
• ZSH framework: zgen + prezto
• ZSH version: 5.9
• ZVM version: 0e66668

Basic examination

• I have read through the README page
• I have the latest version of zsh-vi-mode
• I have tested with another terminal program

Problem description

I've remapped my capslock key to behave as both a control key and an escape key, but it caused zvm to misbehave in a weird way.

Pressing the capslock key will cause the cursor to transform into a block for a brief moment, before turning into an underscore. Pressing the button again will emit this error: No such widget '^[^[^['.

Still not really familiar with zsh in general, so I have no idea what is causing this.

Reproduction steps

setxkbmap -option ctrl:nocaps
xcape -e "Control_L=Escape"

Then press the (physical) capslock key.

Expected behavior

zvm enters normal mode.

Hmm, it looks like that xcape is sending the escape key twice after releasing the capslock key. Not sure why this is happening.

Never mind, I think I've accidentally ran the xcape command twice due to sourcing some file, which is why it was sending double escapes.
