Since this seems like a popular feature, the next version of Dance will be able to do this natively. The dance.openMenu command now takes a prefix argument, which, if specified, instructs Dance to insert the prefix and the entered key if an item outside of the given menu is selected.

{
  "key": "j",
  "command": "dance.openMenu",
  "args": {
    "menu": {
      "items": {
        "j": {
          "text": "escape to Normal",
          "command": "dance.modes.set.normal",
        },
      },
    },
    "prefix": "j",
  },
  "when": "editorTextFocus && dance.mode == 'insert'"
}

@sransara This issue is actually https://github.com/71/dance/issues/177#issuecomment-864186296 (tl;dr: "args": { "text": "j" } should be "args": [{ "text": "j" }]). It’s been fixed, but the fix hasn’t been released on the marketplace yet.
