Switching to *Messages* causes evil-leader keys not to be used and :q tries to quit the whole emacs instance from this buffer, but not other buffers. Also the C-w c (to close pane) doesn't work because it's the last buffer instance. I end up having to kill the buffer then switch or load a blank file and switch, or use C-x b to switch buffers.
A few other buffers have weird behavior like that. Any ideas on how to make it more efficient so I don't have to remember which buffer/mode I'm in?
For reference my .emacs for leader:
(evil-mode 1)
(global-evil-leader-mode)
(evil-leader/set-key
"n" 'neotree-toggle
"t" 'elscreen-create
"h" 'elscreen-previous
"l" 'elscreen-next
"p" 'projectile-find-file
"b" 'switch-to-buffer
"x" 'elscreen-kill
"k" 'kill-buffer)
M-: evil-state. My hunch is that it's going to tell youemacsand that you may need to switch the default state for buffers in that mode.
