[vim mode] when using find (f) to look for the letter "g", there is a delay where the editor is waiting for more input

Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

1. Use default vim keymap
2. Put your cursor into a line containing a "g", and put the cursor to the left of it
3. press fg

Expectation: the cursor jumps to the "g". Reality: there is a delay before anything happens.

I suspect the reason for this behavior is that there are a lot of keybindings starting with "g" and so the editor is waiting whether you want to use any of them. The solution is perhaps to create a new "g mode", just like the "c mode" and the "d mode"?

Confirmed that this happens only for "fg" and not, say, "fa" or "fb".

similar issue with ctrl + w in vim mode to close the window. There's a large delay before it closes your active window

@Innominus you can check similar condition like my pr

I think the Ctrl+w issue can't really be solved as long as you have any normal-mode two-part mappings where the first part is Ctrl+w (and there are many such mappings). Because zed will always have to wait whether there's a second key. The fg issue is different because there can only be one key after f so there shouldn't be any reason to wait.

Yes c-w is kinda special in vim, I usually use q to quit window and Q to macro
