Emacs's helm is a very useful elisp package. But sometimes I want to save helm's interactive buffers in a file, such as helm-for-files
buffer, helm-M-x
buffer. Is there any way to do it?

The simplest option is M-x write-file
although I suspect there is also M-x helm-write-file
.

@ysakamoto In a regular setup, `write-file` is on `C-x C-w`. – itsjeyd Mar 19 '14 at 13:49

1But when I use helm's interactive function, the focus is on the minibuffer. So I cannot use `C-x C-w` or `M-x ...` command to save the interactive buffer – ysakamoto Mar 19 '14 at 17:26

How frequently do you plan to save these buffers? If it's pretty infrequent, you could probably just switch manually to the relevant window and `C-x C-w` (or whatever binding you use). Otherwise, I defer to helm users. – Dan Mar 19 '14 at 19:22
