That doesn't work well with cross-links in the doc strings, because you need to type the name of the symbol. I want a command that will do the equivalent of TAB in the Help buffer, but which will work from another buffer. > +*** New command 'help-customize' ('c'). > +This command will customize the variable or the face (if any). I think this should make it clear the variable/face are those whose doc string is being shown in *Help*.
