I think you are right. Beside what Drew have I have a patch for this
(which is part of my patches in the patched version of Emacs+EmacsW32).
However I have began to rethink how such help could be implemented.
There are other rather similar cases. In tabkey2.el (see EmacsWiki) I
also needed to implement some specific help. This is what I did there:
- When the user hits the help key (f1/C-h) a message saying:
"Type a char for Emacs help. Or, wait for Tab completion help"
- If the response is k or c then specific keybindings valid during tab
completion is shown.
This way the user can have access to both a specific help and the usual
Emacs help.
