how to setup keybinds to not introduce delay in vim normal mode

[schpet]

given i'm interested in having <leader>p format my code, and <leader> to be space i've setup my keymap with this:

[
  {
    "context": "EmptyPane || SharedScreen || vim_operator == none && !VimWaiting && vim_mode != insert",
    "bindings": {
      "space p": "editor::Format",
      // and a bunch of other things mapped to space... 
    }
  }
]

but now any motion around space introduces delay. e.g. R<space> takes >500ms to replace with a space. dt<space> takes a similar delay to delete until a space.

note that the context is copied from https://zed.dev/blog/zed-decoded-vim – can that be tweaked to fix this? or is this a limitation that needs to be worked around or fixed in a different way?
