Starting prompt line with a number moves the cursor to that incrementally

[gyreas]

Summary

I noticed that prompt entries that begin with a number move the editor cursor to a matching line number. So, I updated Helix like 10 mins ago (from now), but the issue persists. However, this does not happen if I type in other characters and then move the prompt cursor to the beginning.

Reproduction Steps

I tried this:

1. hx <anyfile>
2. open the prompt with :
3. start typing with number

I expected this to happen:
The cursor should stay on it's line until I hit Enter.

Instead, this happened:
The cursor incrementally goes to the line matching the number

Wow, I didn't know I could goto line like this. I actually think current behavior is correct, that's how global/search works.

This is intentional behavior
