im the only one asking questions in here 😕 Here is another one. When i leave spacemacs and then travel back, often times my "search" buffer seems to freeze. As in, you see in this picture how I'm typing "learn"? Well i can't keep typing there. I have no idea what state it's in. Pressing "m" or C-z, doesn't do anything.

SPC w b switches focus to the mini buffer (where the lean text is)

When using the mouse to switch back to Spacemacs the focus will become the buffer under the mouse pointer. So either use SPC w b to switch the current buffer to the mini-buffer, click in the mini-buffer (can have side effects , like canceling or confusing the command using the mini-buffer), or use the operating system keyboard shortcuts to switch between applications I use the desktop key bindings to switch back to Emacs (but then I have a nice tiling window manager that make it very simple)
