 its default is 0.4 sec.  There is no timeout if the prefix string is not

+The key timeout is also applied when ZLE is reading the bytes from a

 As well as ZLE commands, key sequences can be bound to other strings, by using
 `tt(bindkey -s)'.
 When such a sequence is read, the replacement string is pushed back as input,
