Custom binding doesn't trigger compound command

[tecfu]

Issue

I've mapped <leader>a to ^ in normal mode as follows:

"vim.normalModeKeyBindings": [
       {
            "before": ["<leader>", "a"],
            "after": ["^"]
        }
}

I expect pressing the sequence <leader>a to thus replicate the behavior of pressing ^ when in normal mode. It does. Except for when I use it in a compound command sequence. Like d<leader>a. Which does nothing.

Conversely, d^ will delete from the current cursor position to the beginning of the current line. This is what I expect <leader>a to do in normal mode after being bound to ^ in normal mode.

To Reproduce

1. settings.json

"vim.normalModeKeyBindings": [
       {
            "before": ["<leader>", "a"],
            "after": ["^"]
        }
}

2. Restart VSCode
3. Open a file, move the cursor to the end of a line of text. Press the following sequence: d<leader>a
4. Nothing happens

Expected behavior

After pressing sequence: d<leader>a, line should be deleted

What you need here is operatorPendingMode remapping which isn't supported yet but is going to be fixed with PR #4735. If you can test that PR and give some feedback.
