Key mapping "k j" to Escape kills performance for the normal use of the "k" (up arrow) in normal mode of vim.

Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

Wanted to have the k j shortcut for escape to get out of insert mode. There is an example code snippet for keymap.json in the docs (https://zed.dev/docs/key-bindings) under the heading "Remapping keys." Using this as a template, I used the following line in keymap.json:

[
  {
    "bindings": {
      "k j": ["workspace::SendKeystrokes", "escape"]
    }
  }
]

With this line of code, the k j sequence does indeed work sending vim into command mode, but when in command mode, the normal operation of the k key (up arrow) is so slow as to be unusable.

I then happened to notice in the vim.json file in git and saw this line in the file:

"context": "Editor && vim_mode == insert",

I added this to the orginal line in keymap.json so with this:

[
  {
    "context": "Editor && vim_mode == insert",
    "bindings": {
      "k j": ["workspace::SendKeystrokes", "escape"]
    }
  }
]

The k key now operates normally in command mode. So depending on how one might look at it, it coiuld be construed as either a bug in the code with a work around or a bug in the documentation.
