Previously, clicking escape would cause the command or search query to
run. While this matches the original vi behavior, it's less intuitive
and provides no way to fully clear the buffer other than clicking
backspace a bunch of times. If compatability with the original vi is a
concern, then an alternative could be adding support for ^U to clear the
buffer, which the original vi does support.
