Feature request: modal input buffer like Telescope

[sodiumjoe]

Hi, coming from denite, I really miss the modal input buffer (which Telescope also has).

I would like to be able to:

• Hit to enter normal mode after adding some filtering input, and then use j/k to navigate the results.
• Optionally start a snap in normal mode.

I think this is more vim-like in general. Any interest?

I came here looking for a similar feature. Having to use left ctrl with my pinky finger while using n/p to move up/down has always felt awkward and fatiguing to my hands as I work. Coming from Telescope, having the modal setup where esc (or rebound caps-lock) + jk to navigate the results feels way more ergonomic to me.

edit: awkwardly, I only just decided to actually read which default keybindings are present, and ctrl+jk works as well. Which is definitely an improvement. Modal mode still seems appealing to me (I also use it frequently to actually modify the search string I typed), but it's more of a nice-to-have now.
