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)

  • How exactly did you set up "leader" keys? – wasamasa Aug 6 '15 at 19:19
  • Posted. I see some documentation on it now @ the evil-leader github repo. – Justin Thomas Aug 6 '15 at 19:53
  • Can you check which state you're in in such buffers? You can do so with M-: evil-state. My hunch is that it's going to tell you emacs and that you may need to switch the default state for buffers in that mode. – Dan♦ Aug 6 '15 at 20:11
