Problem Statement

When adding a custom option in "question mode", I use the Escape key to exit insert mode and enter normal mode to use motion keybindings. This however exits "question mode" showing a message "user refused questions" or something to that effect.
This makes vim mode unpractical for question mode, as it removes the ability to enter normal mode.

Proposed Solution

Double Escape required when Vim mode is active, with a message appearing below stating "Press escape once more to close this dialog" or something to that effect.

(Note: I think a ctrl+esc wouldn't work, as most vim users have muscle memory making this option unpractical).

Alternative Solutions

(Note: I think a modifier option like ctrl+esc wouldn't work, as most vim users have muscle memory making this option unpractical).
