[BUG] Kicked out of insert mode when typing 'jk'

[pieterdd]

Describe the issue
When typing quickly in insert mode, I am thrown out of insert mode if I quickly type the characters 'jk'.

Steps to reproduce on a clean install:

• Open scratch buffer (SPC x)
• Go into insert mode (i)
• Type 'This is a test jk haha' quickly
  • Expected behavior: "This is a test jk haha" is inserted.
  • Actual behavior: "This is a test" is inserted and I'm thrown out of insert mode.

It's not a bug, it's a feature. Maybe we can disable it, but at least you can set this variable to nil in your config if you don't want this to happen

(setq evil-escape-key-sequence nil) will do. Thanks!

Better: (after! evil-escape (evil-escape-mode -1)), or disable the package completely:

;; ~/.doom.d/packages.el
(package! evil-escape :disable t)

Then run doom refresh and restart Emacs.
