ESC during change commands deselects text area

[jeaye]

I've found that using escape to cancel commands (not related to VimFx) such a changing inside text objects ends up deselecting the text area.

Given text:
(foo bar spam)

Typing, in normal mode where the cursor is on, say, b:
ci<ESC>

Ends up, instead of cancelling the change, deselecting the text area.

I don't believe this is a duplicate; please reopen it. The issue is that I believe pterosaur should keep track of whether or not the user is currently building a motion command when handling an escape press. If escape is pressed in the middle of such a command, the command should be cancelled and the user should stay in normal mode.

I'm reopening, but this is low priority.
