:write command not working as expected

[curioustolearn]

Summary

I added the following lines to my config file

[keys.insert]
'j' = {'k' = [":write", "normal_mode"]}  ## map jk to save and exit to normal mode.

When I type the jk keys in the insert mode, the editor enters the normal mode as expected. It also shows a message that the file was written. However, the [+] symbol in the modeline does not go away. When I try to close the buffer, I get a warning that there are unsaved changes. If I switch to insert mode again and then press jk again then the [+] symbol goes away, and it is as if I type :w in the normal mode.

Reproduction Steps

I tried this:

1. Add the following lines to the config file and reload:

[keys.insert]
'j' = {'k' = [":write", "normal_mode"]}  ## map jk to save and exit to normal mode.

2. Open a file and write something to it. Press jk.

At this point I expect the [+] symbol in the modeline to go away. But it does not. The editor goes into the normal_mode as expected.

3. Press i to enter insert mode and then type jk again. Now, the [+] symbol goes away.
