title: How to interrupt a Vim command taking too much time?
body: <p>Sometimes a Vim command takes too much time to execute.</p>
  
  <p>Typical example : <code>gf</code> command with a huge path over a network. It can take up to 30 seconds to end. I would like to interrupt the execution while it is ongoing.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to cancel the command execution and go back to normal mode (without having to kill Vim and restart) ?</p>
