Re: [vi-mode] widgets for case manipulation: `gU` and `U` in visual mode

Oliver,

thanks for pointing out the issue.

Having an ESCKEYTIMEOUT would be awesome. Setting KEYTIMEOUT to anything
above 5 is quite noticeable and laggy when I want to return to normal mode.
KEYTIMEOUT=1 is snappy, but then I lose out on the surround widget and
whatnot because I can't type `ys` fast enough.
