bug: command `exe 'normal! gvy'` doesn't work as expected

[xwillq]

Did you check docs and existing issues?

• [X] I have read all the which-key.nvim docs
• [X] I have searched the existing issues of which-key.nvim
• [X] I have searched the existing issues of plugins related to this issue

Neovim version (nvim -v)

0.10.0

Operating system/version

MacOS 14.5

Describe the bug

When executing exe 'normal! gvy', y is not executed, so nvim stays in visual mode and selection is not yanked.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Type anything into buffer
2. Select typed text with V
3. Run :exe 'normal! gvy'

Expected Behavior

Register " should have contents of previous selection and nvim should be in normal mode, basically how it works without the plugin.
