jupyterlab-vim: `Esc` does not work in visual mode

When in visual mode, I expect Esc to exit and return to the normal mode, but it does nothing.

I’m pretty sure that this and the others issues like will be resolved once jupyterlab 4.1 is released as that will include https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/pull/14421

I can confirm, pressing v in vim mode within a cell will get you into visual select mode. Normally Esc should get you out of visual mode, but it currently has no effect.

Work-around: You can press v again to exit visual mode.
