Here we see the contents of the *Char Help* buffer
(that I couldn't copy so needed a screenshot. See my other bug today.)

It is made by
C runs the command dired-do-copy (found in dired-mode-map), which is
an interactive autoloaded compiled Lisp function in ‘dired-aux.el’.
I think it should also mention C-g, "to quit right away".
Sure, "The user is supposed to know that."
But, "He isn't sure it won't cause some damage, else if it were safe, it
would be listed."

No, it makes no sense to list C-g here -- C-g is always an option in
(virtually) all commands like this, so listing it is just noise. Closing.
