I have been installing some new non texting editing packages and this is where I have been getting problems because
evil-mode interferes with their command key transients because those transients buffers or the windows that control them seem to slip back into normal-mode.vulpea-ui

canvas-browser is another one I will have to devote my attention to.
The problem is even after setting them to emacs ie
(evil-set-initial-state 'vulpea-ui-collection-mode 'emacs) or :hook ((excali-mode . turn-off-evil-mode)) they switch back to normal-mode with N in the mode line and I wonder what is going behind the scenes.It seems that during some of the interactions some new replacement /shadow buffers are created or some operations turn the emacs-mode buffers back to normal-mode and those states must be trapped or reverted.
Which brings me to a question is
(evil-set-initial-state 'some-mode 'emacs) a better way to turn off evil mode than :hook (some-mode . turn-off-evil-mode)?What foolproof way is there of telling when a window has unexpectedly switched to
evil-mode, or has been created with evil-mode ie mode-line contains N so I can use the right commands to turn off evil-mode in that window?Is it possible for some mode to be activated in a window without some hook firing?
