How to cancel [count] prefix?

Hello,

i need this for my custom mappings, but i am also curious in this question on its own right:

How do you cancel the count prefix in Vim?

Say, i've typed '42' before a motion key, but then changed my mind and decided to use a different motion or a different count. How do i cancel '42' if i am in Visual mode? (In Normal mode i can press <Esc>, but in Visual mode this would also cancel the selection.)

The only solution for Visual mode i've found so far is to press '@_'. Is there a better way?

What if i've typed a wrong count in Operator-pending mode, like 'd42'?

Thank you,

Alexey.
