How do I escape from the mode of giving follower commands?
Game: The elder srolls V - Skyrim with all official patches
Yesterday I asked my follower in the game to do something. I forgot how this happened, but finally I found I am not able to escape to the normal mode any more!
attempts:
- Escape key - shows the normal system menu and back to command mode
- Tab key - show the "skill - magic - item - map" cross and back to command mode
- Fast travel to locations - fine, but still in command mode
- Save game, exit to desktop, and start with continue - in command mode
- Ask follower to depart - he is gone, but the cursor is still in command mode, and I cannot even open a door!
and finally this was resolved by loading an earlier saved game.
Did any one have this problem before? How to resolve this issue? I mean, escape from command mode without lost recent activities.

Unfortunately I didn't backup the problematic saved game so it might or might not be able to reproduce this issue.

The ESC key always works for me, as does the space bar. I suspect any key other than a movement, camera, or activate key will work. I've been watching some Let's Play videos where the player ends command mode by looking at the follower again and talking/activating.
The fact that you tried some of these and it didn't work suggests your current save is glitched. You can try the usual tricks like waiting an hour or more, to see if that fixes it, but there's no guarantee that will fix it. You can also check the mods you have installed, as suggested in the comments, to see if one of those is the cause.

I had the same problem, this is how I fixed it. Talk to your follower, tell them "I need you to do something. " point to the ground until it says "wait here" activate. Then press tab. This was the first thing I found when I googled my issue, hope this info helps someone else. Happy adventures, Dragonborn.
