Escape keybind conflict in notebook

[xsrvmy]

In notebook mode there is a conflict between the escape keybind when waiting for the second key of vim commands. For example, typing d<esc> will trigger vscode's own escape function, instead of cancelling the d command. Further, vim mode is stuck waiting for the d command to complete in this case. I usually end up hitting escape to get of this mess.

Hitting escape in insert mode does work properly.
