Title: cancel current command in normal mode by pressing escape

this is very handy when you inadvertently press an action key, i.e. "d".
vim (and BSD vi) do the same thing, so i think this change is highly justified.

would be nice if we could indicate in status line (vim shows "d^[", when the action is "d")
but the current status line handling doesn't really allow that.
