This happens to me all the time too! Anyone have a fix?
- NoGravitas 5y agoThe thing you're looking for is `M-x top-level`. It exits all recursive editing levels and active minibuffers.
- da39a3ee 5y agoThanks, that's perfect. I still have a running emacs instance for magit, and editing elisp at least, so I can still make use of your suggestion. (I made it so that C-g with prefix arg calls top-level; not sure if you'll think that UI makes sense).
