I'm not sure exactly what the problem is here but I think it's to do with the
interaction between key repeat and the clipboard (wl-clipboard) which non-vi
editors won't have. Regular vim behaves exactly the same as neovim (`vim -u
NONE` followed by `set clipboard=unnamedplus`). I've also observed a change in
the key repeat behaviour in vscode using the vscode-neovim plugin where keys
that interact with the clipboard (eg holding x or p) do repeat but at a lower
frequency than keys that don't interact with the clipboard (eg j). vscode with
the emulated vim plugin is not affected.

With wl-clipboard uninstalled vim and neovim no longer have the key repeat
issue but shows an error that no clipboard provider is installed so I'm pretty
sure it's delegating clipboard interactions to that, which is momentarily
stealing focus. I'm not sure if this is a bug with wl-clipboard or the
clipboard portal.

I tried Kate with vi mode and it doesn't have any issue, but that is probably
interacting with the clipboard in an entirely different way.
