vi-mode not working in fresh pre-release 4.0.0.-pre12, key s is misinterpreted
A fresh configuration of Nyxt4-pre-12 with just vi-mode enabled (cf. issue #3675 ) does not allow typing commands in prompt. Typing leads to strange behaviour in prompt buffer, user is not able to finish words/commands
Steps to reproduce the issue
Fresh Nyxt4 config, open settings buffer ⇒ keyboard shortcuts Switch to vi quit Nyxt4 restart Nyxt4 Open command prompt (Ctrl-space), try to type ›describe‹, after ›de‹ cursor/point goes back left, word is not finished. Or try to type ›show-system-information‹ to report this bug …
Looks like the key ›s‹ is somehow interpreted as the character replacement key.
Pasting commands into prompt buffer makes them executable.

Further tests with the pre-release while working an a fix for #3677 showed that the issue mostly stems from the prompt counter-intuitively switching between vi-insert-mode and vi-normal-mode. An (over-)conscious application of i and escape lets the user do what he/she intended.
I'll try to pin the issue down as soon as I'm able to switch from Nyxt3 to Nyxt4 as my daily driver.
