Describe the bug

I noticed recently that while using fugitive's status buffer, the fixup commit bindings (cf and cF) only worked if I was fairly quick hitting the f/F. If I was too slow, then which-key shows "move to next char" instead of the fugitive binding like it normally does, and hitting f/F after that doesn't work (I'm getting an E21: Cannot make changes, 'modifiable' is off error if I actually try to perform the "move to next char" action, oddly).

I was able to isolate this to which-key, to my surprise. A bisect shows that it is specifically 568b841 (refactor: presets, 2024-07-09), though this is still reproducible on the current head of main: 6c1584e (chore(main): release 3.13.2 (#796), 2024-07-24).

Steps To Reproduce

1. Open up nvim using the reproduction config below. Note that you'll need to switch to a directory that is a valid git repo in order to load the fugitive status buffer.
2. Open the fugitive status buffer with :G
3. Hit cf quickly and see that the command line is populated with :Git commit --fixup= as expected
4. Hit c and wait for which-key to show up. Note that which-key shows f => move to next char instead of the fugitive binding
5. Hit f, and see that the fixup commit command is not teed up

Expected Behavior

When in the fugitive status buffer, c followed by f should tee up a fixup commit regardless of the delay between the two keystrokes and whether or not which-key shows up.
