Description

I have troubles making Alt-s work everywhere. I am using spacemacs. The configuration I used is (global-set-key (kbd "M-s") 'evil-escape). It works fine when editing text, for example to exit insert mode, but it doesn't work to cancel things like Ctrl-x/SPC. Is there a way to make it work? Thanks.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate why global set key for Alt s does not apply in all evil states. Check if evil escape handles key sequences differently and consider using evil define key or adding to evil escape keymap.
