Hi,
I'm currently getting started with annotated bibliography management with *Spacemacs* and am experimenting with *org-roam-bibtex*. I face the following problem:
1. When `org-roam-bibtex-mode` is disabled I can run `helm-bibtex` within any mode to open the `helm-bibtex` buffer.
2. When `org-roam-bibtex-mode` is enabled, `helm-bibtex` only seems to work within `org-mode` or `bibtex-mode`. In other modes, as for instance in the *messages* buffer, I get the error:
`helm-M-x-execute-command: Args out of range: #, 0, 0`
Is it possible to use `helm-bibtex` from anywhere having `org-roam-bibtex-mode` enabled? Or is that not supported?
