No, please do not do this. A user should be able to select
different buffers and windows, including by clicking the mouse
or using keyboard keys, while the minibuffer is active. A user
should be able to do all kinds of things while the minibuffer is
active - including come back to the minibuffer to continue
inputting text there etc.
