[BUG] insert-last-word widget produces corrupted output when bound via zvm_bindkey

[BrahmingWu]

General information

• Terminal program: Ghostty 1.3.1
• Operating system: macOS 26.4.1
• ZSH framework: zsh
• ZSH version: 5.9
• ZVM version: 0.12.0

System report (zvm_system_report)

Basic examination

• I have read through the README page
• I have the latest version of zsh-vi-mode
• I have tested with another terminal program (same behavior in Terminal.app and Alacritty)

Problem description

When binding Esc . (or any other key sequence) to the Zsh built-in widget insert-last-word inside zsh-vi-mode, the executed action does not insert the last argument of the previous command. Instead, it inserts unexpected text that appears to be a corrupted repetition of a completion or edit operation (e.g., fragments like ls .con//gls). This indicates the insert-last-word widget is not working properly under zsh-vi-mode.

Reproduction steps

1. Load zsh-vi-mode and configure the key binding in ~/.zshrc (after plugin load):

   function zvm_after_init() {
     zvm_bindkey viins '^[.' insert-last-word
   }
   # Set a short timeout to distinguish Esc . from Esc alone
   ZVM_KEYTIMEOUT=5
