commands that prompt for a key do not work properly when run from the command palette

Summary

select_register does not work properly when selected from the command palette.

Commands that prompt for a key do not work properly when ran from the command palette.

For example, if you run select_register the popup showing the registers will appear, but pressing a key to select the register instead executes the command bound to it.

Reproduction Steps

I tried this:

1. hx
2. space + ?
3. select register, and enter
4. type in a key (e.g. m)

I expected this to happen:

• the select register popup appears
• the selected register is changed to m.
  (or an error is shown if using the command from the command palette is unintended)

Instead, this happened:

• the select register popup properly (?) appears
• minor match mode gets activated

Also see #4508. Ideally the command palette should not be executing commands itself but rather queueing up commands to be handled through the normal codepaths. It requires a very large refactor to fix this though
