You forget the need to switch to the *Help* buffer before typing 'c',
don't you?

And that need to go to *Help* is, for me, the single significant
annoyance with Help commands.  For example, I frequently want to look
at the source of a function whose doc string I just requested, and its
a nuisance to have to click on the button there or go to the *Help*
buffer, find the button, and press RET.

So how about some special prefix key and a keymap to allow invoking
these commands from a buffer other than *Help*?

> index 48cf435f97..24b7ffaa2a 100644
> --- a/lisp/help-mode.el
> +++ b/lisp/help-mode.el

No changes in documentation to go with this?

Thanks.
